Who needs Hollywood?
Come Sunday, there’ll be plenty of glamour right here in the
heart of wine country when the Sonoma Valley Film Society (sonomafilmfest.org) presents
“Night at the Oscars,” a black tie-optional gala and live broadcast of the 80th
Annual Academy Awards in downtown Sonoma.
Guests are invited to walk the red carpet beginning at 3:30pm, after
which they’ll be treated to a “multicourse epicurean feast” and “megascreen
live broadcast” of the awards, according to the society’s web site.
Tickets don’t come cheap – they’re going for $250 a head –
but the Oscars don’t come around often, either (nor does the chance to walk a
red carpet, for that matter). After the
telecast guests can expect dessert and dancing followed by an after-party,
proving that, against all odds, wine country is poised to burn the midnight
oil. It doesn’t get much more Hollywood
than that, folks.
