For those of us who don’t have a golden ticket to the Sunday, February 24, glam-fest that is the Academy Awards, fear not — there are two Oscar parties to attend right here in town.
Metropolitan Theatres is opening up the Arlington for its live Academy Awards viewing, at no cost to attendees. Get there early (doors open at 3 p.m.) to see the glitterati walk the red carpet at 3:30 p.m., go just for the awards ceremony, which begins at 5 p.m. For more information, see metrotheatres.com.
