Amanda Morrison from the NZ Embassy Trust writes: The Oscars will be shown “live” at the Embassy Theatre in Wellington from 11.30am on Monday 1 March, and a few tickets are still available from the Box Office. This is a fun day, with prizes for Best-Dressed, Best Peter Jackson look-alike, Most Hobbit-like, that sort of thing. So dress up and come along to be in the right place (Peter’s favourite theatre) at the right time (we HOPE). This is a fund-raiser for the Embassy Theatre Trust, so it would be really good to sell off the remaining tickets. Further details if required from amanda.m@morrimac.com.
