It’s the most wonderful time of the year — awards season! And that means it’s also time for your yearly deep dive into the Oscar nominees. Join host Larry Mantle (he/him) and the FilmWeek critics at the historic Orpheum Theatre in downtown LA as they hash out the odds for all of the big races. All ticket-buyers will be entered to win a drawing to sit in on a live taping of FilmWeek at the Mohn Broadcast Center in Pasadena. Step inside our lobby booth to record a message to FilmWeek. Shout out your favorite critic, give us your hottest take on the Oscars race, or just leave some love for FilmWeek! Your message might be featured on air. Doors will open at 12 p.m.
