    Every year we host The Red Carpet Gala – A Live Telecast of the Oscars® and Celebration of the World of Film. The event isn’t only a glamorous affair, it’s a fundraiser which benefits aGLIFF, Out Youth, and AIDS Services of Austin.

    The paparazzi will be awaiting your arrival on the red carpet at 6:00pm this Sunday, February 27th, at the Driskill Hotel. Prepare your finest suits and ball gowns to dazzle the crowds on Oscar’s big night!

    You will be escorted to your private table where your waiter will be serving Oscar-themed specialty cocktails. But don’t worry if you have a favorite drink, the open bar will be serving whatever your heart desires.

    The Oscars telecast beings promptly at 7pm and will be projected throughout the opulent Victorian Room. Enjoy a special live Old Hollywood themed performance and the official Red Carpet coverage as the first of your three-course gourmet dinner is served.

    Swag-filled celebrity signed popcorn bowls will be featured at the silent auction for you to bid on throughout the evening. Join the Oscar Pool by picking your favorites to win each category and compete against other guests to win $500.

    To cap off the evening, a champagne toast will celebrate the winner of the Best Picture award.
