Oscars Best Picture Showcase showing at AMC Quail Springs
“The Reader”
The AMC Quail Springs Mall 24 theater, 2501 W Memorial Rd., is participating Saturday in AMC’s 2009 Best Picture Showcase, which offers people the chance to see in one day all five films nominated for best picture at the Oscars.
The Best Picture Showcase is set for Saturday, with the first movie starting at 10:30 a.m.
The Oscars ceremony will air live at 7 p.m. Sunday from the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood on ABC. You can follow along with the awards show here during my live-blog of the events.
The best picture nominees are “The Reader,” “Milk,” “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button,” “Slumdog Millionaire” and “Frost/Nixon.” They will play one after another in a dedicated auditorium throughout the day, according to a news release.
Here is the schedule:
- “Milk” at 10:30 a.m. (ends at 12:38 p.m.)
- “The Reader” at 1:05 p.m. (ends at 3:07 p.m.)
- “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” at 3:45 p.m. (ends at 6:33 p.m.)
- “Slumdog Millionaire” at 7:15 p.m. (ends at 9:15 p.m.)
- “Frost/Nixon” at 9:45 p.m. (ends at 11:47 p.m.)
Guests can purchase an exclusive AMC Best Picture Showcase All-Day Pass for $30, or $25 for AMC MovieWatcher members. That price includes admission to all five films, a souvenir lanyard and a large popcorn with unlimited refills for the entire day. (AMC places the value at more than $50 to see the films and get the lanyard and popcorn.)
The lanyard will feature artwork from the five nominated films and give guests the freedom to come and go throughout the event as they please.
This is the third year AMC has offered the Best Picture Showcase.
