Hi Members of Nerd HQ, our favourite place to hang out (La Fontana Caffe) is hosting an Oscar Party with the Vancouver Movie Fans meetup group. Not only are we nerds and geeks when it comes to sci-fi, crafting, boardgames, but we are also very into movies. Lets join the Vancouver Movie Fans and watch who & which movies will win an Oscar.
Please feel free to RSVP either on Nerd HQ's event page or alternatively on Vancouver Movie Fans meetup page (click here)
Below is the excerpt of the event from the Vancouver Movie Fans meetup page:
While the stars walk the red carpet in couture, we'll be watching from the comfort of couches with a drink and some goodies as we prepare to take in Seth MacFarlane hosting Hollywood's biggest night.
Aside from good company and watching the action unfold on the super big screen, we'll also have an assortment of prizes throughout the night and a final grand prize (complete with bragging rights) for the individual who correctly identifies the most winners.
We're also going to be selling 50/50 tickets. $2 each or 3 for $5. As with last year, winner will take home half the pot while the other half will be carried forward to pay for next year's prizes.
Event will start with the Red Carpet pre-show at 4PM but the actual awards show will begin at 5:00PM. In order to qualify for the grand prize, your ballot must be submitted before the show starts. We'll have printed copies at the party but if you'd prefer to fill out your ballot before hand, you can download your copy here (note that this opens a PDF).
Dress comfortable, bring a friend (or two) and your snark - discussion is welcome and encouraged!
See you there!

Was planning to come, and then realized I had to spend the night baking for a work thing. :( Phooey.

I haven't watched the Oscars in years—haven't had cable in over 10 years. :) Sounds like fun.

We just grab a coffee and speak French. Some people have been coming every week for months... it creates a kind of warmth to the group.
