Oscar Viewing Party Roundup, Copyright Awareness Week, NABOB's Communication Awards Dinner, ScreenBurn Beta Festival @ SXSW 2006, Rock Hall Induction
Even if you're not an A list invitee to the Oscar's this year you might get closer to the action than you think by attending any one of several Oscar Viewing Parties happening somewhere in your area.
