Oscar has quite the history (and for 84 he looks pretty good). So does The Capitol Theater. This year the Olympia Film Society continues its tradition of mixing cinema with live spectacle in a big way. For starters, guests at this year's Capitol Theater Oscar Party will walk down a real red carpet to the theater while two fashion shops, Yolli Shoes and Hot Toddy, pose as paparazzo. Your runway repartee then appears directly on the Capitol's gargantuan screen for all to see.
To entertain the crowd, OFS has brought in folks who know their way around a microphone - Mona Von Horne (aka The Belle of Berlin) and Josh Anderson. Last year the latter received his own local version of an Oscar, snagging Best Actor in the Volcano's Best of Olympia Readers' Picks. For this year's Oscar party, Anderson disappears under the beard and cheap suit of his popular persona, Saul Tannenbaum.
Besides performances, the Capitol Theater Oscar party packs prizes and the chance to snap your photo with a real Oscar statuette. Post THAT on Facebook, then sit back and watch the "Likes" roll in.
