Get Ready for the Oscars at the Alamo:
Academy Award Best Picture Nominees Part 1
Academy Award Best Picture Nominees Part 2
2011 Oscar Shorts: LIVE ACTION PROGRAM
2011 Oscar Shorts: ANIMATED PROGRAM
Shorts Start Friday @Ritz, Marathons Sunday 2/13 & 2/20, 11am @Lamar

The Oscars are not until February 27, and while that wait is excruciating, it's also an opportunity to catch up on the things we may have missed over the last year. The Academy as come out with its nominee list, and we'll be going through the major nominations over the next few weeks, making sure to see everything so we can be informed come Oscar Night.

The most exciting program we're doing are two Oscar Best Feature Marathons! On Sunday 2/13, we're showing five of the ten Oscar Nominees in a row: TOY STORY 3, THE KIDS ARE ALL RIGHT, 127 HOURS, THE FIGHTER, and INCEPTION. The next Sunday, 2/20, we're going to show the other five nominees: TRUE GRIT, THE KING'S SPEECH, WINTER'S BONE, THE SOCIAL NETWORK, and BLACK SWAN. Each 10+ hour marathon screening costs only $40, and you can see some of the best films of the past year on the big screen where they belong!

We're also going to be continuing our ongoing tradition of showing the nominees for Live Action and Animated shorts. Starting this Friday at the Ritz, we're staggering showings throughout the day, so you can see one program after the other (if you're so inclined), or just catch one. Expect to see some really awesome short form moviemaking.

Check out these great programs! Academy Award Best Picture Nominees Part 1, Academy Award Best Picture Nominees Part 2, 2011 Oscar Shorts: LIVE ACTION PROGRAM, 2011 Oscar Shorts: ANIMATED PROGRAM. Check individual pages for details.
