A Few Seats Left for Sunday’s A Night At The Oscars Watch Party

For the second year in a row, a red carpet will be rolled out for movie lovers at The Springs Cinema & Taphouse’s A Night At The Oscars viewing party.

All proceeds earned from the event, which is set for Sunday, Feb. 9, at 7 p.m., will benefit the AFLAC Cancer and Blood Disorders Center at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. The Springs, recently redesigned and renovated, is located at 5920 Roswell Road, Suite C-103, in Sandy Springs, in the back of Parkside Shopping Center.

The Academy Awards viewing party is one of many special events held at the neighborhood landmark. On Oscar’s big night, as ticket holders make their way to luxury heated recliners in the theater’s two largest auditoriums, they can pose for star-worthy photos on the red carpet.

Attendees will receive cast-your-vote forms, courtesy of Focus Features, to compare at evening’s end, and can also participate in movie trivia competitions. Additionally, two local filmmakers will be presented with The Springs’ second-annual Spotlight Awards.

Tickets are $20 per person and include food, drinks and a raffle ticket for a chance to win an array of prizes from over 20 local restaurants and businesses, as well as free movie passes. Oscar partygoers will be treated to a dessert reception catered by Le Macaron French Pastries of Alpharetta and featuring macarons, meringues and madeleines. Cream puffs, cookies and decadent bars also will be on the menu. Other sponsors include Whats Up Dunwoody, He Said/She Said Movie Reviews, Beard Papa’s and Alon’s Bakery and Market.

The Springs, December’s winner of Atlanta Magazine’s Best Refresh of a Beloved Movie Theater award, is the former Lefont theater. New owner Brandt Gully upgraded the space with a $2.5 million renovation including – among many cutting-edge enhancements – a bar and restaurant. In fact, some of the only traces of the theater’s venerable past are intentional: In addition to current blockbusters, Gully kept the Lefont’s rotation of treasured classic movies and independent art-house films.

As was the case in 2019, the Academy Awards party will be the first of many film industry events at the theater this year. A busy schedule of screenings, premieres and cast parties are on tap throughout 2020.
