In honor of the Oscar Nominations on January 23, THE ACADEMY OF MOTION PICTURES is hosting the entire Oscar Ceremony 2 Months Early at Legion Bar

This is both unprecedented and ill-advised considering the votes have not been tallied and the nominations have yet to be announced; however, we all remember when LA LA LAND won Best Picture for 30 seconds so nothing is off the table. 

Featuring celebrity impressions by
Ali Levin
Evan Samuels
Eddie Dougrou
Seth Alkon Finkelstein

and scenes from Oscar Nominated Films That Don't Exist by
Bronson Improv

With a Red Carpet for photos and Black Tie attire for all Nominees, Guests, and Seat Fillers (you know which one you are).

Character 101: Class Show

This is a writing and performance class focused on creating original characters.
