Costume Culture Society presents:
The 4th Annual Alt.Oscar Event
New York's Alternative Oscar Celebration... Where YOU are the Celebrity!
An all-night Oscar Party with Oscar Viewing, Dancing, Food, Drink, an interactive Red Carpet and competitions for the much coveted Alty Awards!
Featuring: MC Christopher, top DJ's and YOU showing Hollywood that New York City has Twice the Glamour and Three Times the Fun!
Dress: Film Character, Pop Culture Icon, Inspired Eccentric, Creative Black Tie and Star-Struck Paparazzi.
Alty Awards for Best Celebrity, Best Costumes, Technical Direction and Lifetime Achievement (real or imagined).
Be Your Own Celebrity on NYC's most outrageous Red Carpet!
The story behind the Alties:
Whereas Hollywood caters to "Celebrity Culture", the Alties advocates "Participatory Culture" where there are no VIP areas, where the velvet rope is open to anyone who makes an effort and where drinks and food are affordable to all. We enjoy the style of the Oscars and pay homage to all the actors and filmakers but with our own New York City attitude! This Alties occurred from 2006-2008, we took a break in 2009 to host an Inaugural Ball, and are now re-launching this event for the new decade.
This is a general admission, standing event.
Tickets for LPR Members are $5 for a limited time. E-mail members@lprnyc.com with your member number.
