The Academy Awards are mere weeks away (February 28), so you’re running out of time to catch up on any movies you missed before they hand out the statues. Thankfully, Cinerama is once again here to help. Starting next Friday, February 19, the theater will host Eight Days of Oscar, a cinematic celebration where each Best Picture nominee will be screened for a day. Tickets are $15, and each film will be shown three or four times on its day.

The best thing about Eight Days of Oscar? Getting to see Mad Max: Fury Road on the big screen again. (Seriously, it’s a masterpiece that’s meant to be seen in a movie theater. If you haven’t experienced it, don’t miss this chance.) For the record, here’s your author’s power rankings of seen nominees from best to still good: Mad Max: Fury Road, Spotlight, The Revenant (also should be seen in theaters for the cinematography alone), The Martian, Room.
