Tampa Theatre ended its official Oscar Night affiliation with the academy years ago, but the party goes on. Now it's called Hollywood Awards Night, the way sports bars throw "Big Game" parties on Super Bowl Sunday to avoid copyright infringement.

A rose by any other name would be just as much fun.

Tampa Theatre signature red carpet touches: a limo ride around the block; adoring "fans" and "paparazzi" lining the entrance; movie-themed costumes. Formalwear or glam are welcome. There's a cash bar, the Oscars on the big screen plus coffee and doughnuts while the show runs long.

Tickets are $20 with $5 discounts for members and groups of four or more. But wait, there's more. Added to the festivities this year are a limited number of Backstage Passes ($75) allowing access to Tampa Theatre's green room with appetizers and open bar until 11 p.m. tampatheatre.org.
