You know I am never above a little self-promotion, but, this time, there is something in it for you as well. For the sixth year in a row, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (yes, THE Academy) in partnership with the Charles Guggenheim Center for Documentary Film at the National Archives and the Foundation for the National Archives will show each of the Oscar nominees for Best Documentary Feature March 3 - 7.
Of course, you want to go.
1) It is one of the very rare chances to see all of the nominees. In addition to showing the Documentary Feature nominees, you can also see the Documentary Short Subject, Live Action Short Film, and Animated Short Film nominees. Amaze the people at your Oscar party and win the Oscar pool with the knowledge you gain from seeing all of the nominees.
2) You get to visit one of DC's true, hidden gems, The William G. McGowan Theater in the National Archives. Not even Nicolas Cage snuck in there during National Treasure! It's a beautiful theater, and you get to see a real Oscar. I will be getting my picture taken with it. You should, too.
3) It's FREE!!!!!
4) Last, and certainly least, you can meet me, Willie Waffle, as I will be the host for each Documentary Feature screening.
