Prep for the Academy Awards with Cinerama’s Eight Days of Oscar

The renovated movie theater screens all eight Best Picture nominees over nine days.

Want to seem like the smartest person in the room during your friends’ Academy Awards viewing party or just be able to come up with some informed and pithy tweets during the telecast? Cinerama is here to help. The recently renovated theater hosts Eight Days of Oscar beginning next week, where it’ll screen all eight 2015 Best Picture nominees over the course of nine days (yeah… the title is kind of a fib).

The series begins when American Sniper ends its current run at Cinerama on February 13. After taking Valentine’s Day off for some film classics (Gone with the Wind, Some Like It Hot, Guys and Dolls), the theater will screen the other seven Best Picture nominees over the following seven days (Feb 15–21). Each day features three or four screenings of the heralded movies. Tickets (with Cinerama’s new reserved seating) are on sale now for $15 per film at Cinerama.com.

Feb 13 – American Sniper
Feb 15 – Whiplash
Feb 16 – Boyhood
Feb 17 – The Grand Budapest Hotel
