The international film award season is in full swing and a glitzy fundraising event has been organized to celebrate the Best Picture nominees for the Oscars.

The Bermuda International Film Festival (BIFF) is throwing a red carpet-style party called And The Winner Is... in the Golf Club House of Tucker’s Point Hotel and Spa.

The event, which will take place on February 26, from 7pm until midnight, will raise money for BIFF.

There will be food and cocktails as well as music from Mohawk Radio and DJ Vibe, set against a backdrop of film footage from this year’s Academy Awards.

The highlight of the evening will be a Calcutta Auction where guests can purchase BIFF Bucks to bid for the movie they think will be the eventual winner of the Best Picture accolade at the 83rd Academy Awards ceremony the following day. There will be prizes for the winning predictions.

The Best Picture nominees for this year’s Oscars are Black Swan, The Fighter, Inception, The Kids are Alright, The King’s Speech, 127 Hours, The Social Network, True Grit and Winter’s Bone.

Tickets are $125 and can be purchased at BIFF offices at 15 Front Street in Hamilton, by calling 293-3456 or online at www.premiertickets.bm. The dress code is ‘Hollywood chic’ — tuxedos not required but the name of the game is glamour.
