Apparently, AMC liked my write up of the new Fork & Screen experience so much that they invited me to their annual Best Picture Showcase on the day before the Oscars.

This is an awesome experience. For $30 (only $25 for MovieWatcher members), you get to watch all five Best Picture nominees back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back. It’s a whole Saturday, starting at 10:30 in the morning and ending well after 11 at night. Kansas City is one of many cities across the country hosting this event and here in town, it’s at both my home court theater (Olathe Studio) and at the BarryWoods 24.

I plan on live-tweeting the event along with bloggers across the U.S. If you’re also planning on live-tweeting, the official hash tag (which yours truly put into play) is #amcbps.

If you want to join in the fun, make sure to pick up your tickets soon. If you want the $5 discount, you’ll have to go to the box office to pick up your pass.

I love the Oscars and I love the movies. This is like the perfect storm of awesomeness. Plus I get to cross something off my Bucket List (spend all day at the movie theater with Alli).

And just in case you’re wondering…here are the showtimes:

• “Milk”- 10:30am
• “The Reader”- 1:05pm
• “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button”- 3:45pm
• “Slumdog Millionaire”- 7:15pm
• “Frost/Nixon”- 9:45pm

It’s gonna be legendary.
