BrightestYoungThings: PSA: Oscar Movie Catch Up in DC Next Week @ National Geographic

You guys, one of BYT's favorite movie events of the year is next week. To quote Alan in our WINTER MOVIE GUIDE: The Best Foreign Film Oscar is a strange beast. Its rules are archaic and exclusionary (e.g. each country may submit only one film). Few movie-lovers have seen the winner by Oscar Night, so usually feel gypped. Thankfully, every winter National Geographic does its best to ameliorate that problem. For one week in February, they show all five Best Foreign Film nominees, back to back. The event provides a rare glimpse into what, precisely, members of the Academy are smoking, and it’s inexpensive to boot. Go to this so when you’re at your Oscar party next year, your foreign film shit-talking can be much more informed.

BYT movie team will be in the house and reviewing each movie so be on the look-out for those AND we just wanted to make sure you're up and ready to get tickets for it as these ALWAYS sell out.
