AMC Theaters is offering 12 hour screenings (all on Saturdays I believe) of the Best Picture nominees for this year's Oscars on their website for $30 (Over a $50 value).

You just go down a list of states/towns offering the showings and you can buy tickets in advance. Not sure if I'm going to partake in this since I've seen 2 of the 5 films already, and have no desire to see "Atonement" but it definitely seems like a good deal.

Below is the link to AMC's website, when you click on the theater you want, it then takes you to the specific theater's website. With the admission fee, you get a large popcorn, free refills on soda all day, and a "collectible pass" (probably a laminated piece of paper you'll end up throwing away). If you're up for movie marathons, this is definitely the event for you.

Suggested accessories for the event:
-A Box of Joe from Dunkin' Donuts
-Visine/Clear Eyes
-Slippers
-A comfortable outfit and/or PJ's

Happy Viewing,
