The Neon invites everyone to its annual (free!) Oscar Watch Party. Watch the 92nd Academy Awards on the big screen and make your best predictions. Ballots are already available in the theater’s lobby for pickup, but the theater will only begin accepting ballots for voting on the day of the Oscars.

Even though the event is free, ballots serve as a reservation for your spot at the party, as space is limited. So even if you don’t wish to participate in voting, people should pick up ballots before the night of the event in order to save a seat.
