Hollywood Awards Night 2019
Sun Feb 24, 7:00 PM - Sun Feb 24, 11:35 PM

Join Tampa Theatre on Sunday, February 24 as we celebrate Hollywood’s biggest night of the year with a Red Carpet Reception and VIP-worthy watch party for the live telecast of the 91st annual Academy Awards® on the big screen.

Now in its 20th year at Tampa Theatre, the Hollywood Awards Night Red Carpet Reception begins at 7:00pm on Franklin Street under the historic marquee. After a limo ride around the block, courtesy of long-time event sponsor Skyline Limousine, our superstar guests will walk the red carpet past adoring fans and paparazzi, rub shoulders with costumed characters representing Hollywood’s biggest bigwigs, pose for a picture with a living award “statue,” and chat with “Roan Jivers” about who they’re wearing.

Inside, there will be games, prizes, free popcorn and soda, hair and makeup touch-ups with professional stylists, the OSCAR® Red Carpet Live pre-show on the big screen, and a cash bar. ABC’s live coverage of the Academy Awards begins at 8:00 p.m.

How do you upgrade an already VIP experience? By building out the stage over the seats to turn Tampa Theatre’s historic auditorium into the most exclusive party deck east of the Hollywood hills! This year’s event offers THREE levels of experience, depending on how much star power you want:
