When: 7 p.m. Sunday to take in the Hollywood red-carpet arrivals on the big screen

The glitz: The center will have its own red carpet and a real Oscar (won by George George for short documentary in the 1950s) with which guests can take photos.

Food and drink: light refreshments, beverages and desserts.

Extras: During commercial breaks, prizes including free movie passes and concession gift certificates will be given to those who correctly answer trivia questions.

Dress code:While guests are encouraged to dress in their Oscar best, its not required at the pretty relaxed event.

And the Oscar goes to: Before the Oscars begin at 8:30 p.m., guests can fill out prediction ballots; the winner gets free movies for a year.
