Experience the Academy Awards in style at VIFF Centre! Vancouver’s classiest big screen cinema offers the most comfortable seats in town, red carpet, step & repeat and a fully licensed bar. VIFF’s annual red carpet Oscars® party gives you the virtual experience of the telecast, and enhances it with real live hosts, our famous Oscar® bingo, prize packages, and the open invitation to get your glitz on in our Best Dressed fashion show.
Along with unlimited free popcorn, we’ll have fun fare from Japadog stationed nearby for emergency rations. Our bar will be open and selling beer, wine and bubbly – it’s just that kind of party! All this, plus the Hollywood glitterati on the big screen.
As we celebrate the magic of cinema, let’s also take a moment to support a real-life cause. Wildfires have affected countless lives and communities. Please consider donating to wildfire relief efforts here in BC and wherever help is needed. Fire knows no borders, but neither does compassion.

Hosts

Sparkle Plenty and Diva the Violet Femme
Diva the Violet Femme and Sparkle Plenty are two of the city’s silliest showgirls. Combined, their years of performance experience are old enough to have an overwhelming student loan debt and a job that doesn’t reflect their degree…
These middle-aged, mouthy glamour clowns have entertained crowds from Victoria to Vermont, East Van to Las Vegas. They’ve been asked to host some of this city’s most iconic events including the Vancouver International Burlesque Festival, Talking Stick Festival, Vancouver Queer Film Festival, Vancouver Pride, and look forward to bringing glitz, glamour, and tomfoolery to VIFF Centre for this year’s Oscars!
