Tonight, movie lovers from all corners of Bushwick will flock together at 8:00 p.m. to watch the 90th Academy Awards.
Jimmy Kimmel returns as host and many will be paying close attention to how he will address the #MeToo movement and the issue of sexual harassment and abuse which has dominated industry discourse this year. Given the importance of the conversation and scale of the event, we can expect that many members of the Hollywood community will also be using this platform to speak out.
That being said, this has been a bang up year for films and while Three Billboards is the clear front-runner for Best Picture, an upset win from, Lady Bird, Dunkirk, The Shape of Water, Call Me by Your Name or Get Out would be surprising, but certainly not undeserved.
We reached out to local bars and restaurants to see what their set-up will be this Sunday, and six lovely establishments confirmed they plan nothing less than an epic Oscar night. So take your friends, and allow these bars to take care of you!
