Oscar Parties in Vancouver

With the Olympics behind us I’m unsure if Vancouverites are taking a much-needed rest or if they’re aching to get back out and party. For the latter, this weekend’s 82nd annual Academy Awards just so happen to offer such a opportunity.

Lamplighter
The Lamplighter Public House is offering up a prix fixe $40 menu for Oscar night. Doors at 5:00pm for the event Sunday, March 7th.

OPUS Hotel
The OPUS will feature a red carpet event Sunday evening alongside a 3 course Oscar Dinner available in Elixir Bistro for $30 (with optional wine pairings for $20). You can sip & mingle for $25 from 5:00pm until 10:00pm.

PitchMarket 2010 Oscar Wrap Party
Held at Players Chophouse the PitchMarket Oscar party will also have a red carpet along with food samples, drinks, and viewing of the Academy Awards. Tickets are $35 and the event begins at 5:00pm.

If you’re not up for one of the parties around town, or if you aren’t near a TV, I’m certain you’ll see the buzz on Twitter if you’re interested. I admit, I haven’t even seen Avatar yet since it’s been such a busy year however I look forward to catching up and seeing some of the winners once things slow down.
