On March 15, on the occasion of the 98th Oscars, the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures hosted the Official Oscars Watch Party.

Guests experienced Hollywood’s biggest night as they celebrated this year’s nominated films and walked the museum’s red carpet.

The event is the culminating moment of Oscars Season at the Academy Museum, which runs through March 22. The Oscars Season slate of programming invites visitors to experience Oscarwinning film screenings, in-gallery tours, public programs, Nominee Spotlights and exclusive store merchandise. Winning film screenings begin March 19 and tickets can be purchased.

Throughout the evening, attendees posed for photo activations on the Walt Disney Company Piazza, had an opportunity to shop for exclusive merchandise at the Academy Museum Store, enjoyed hors d’oeuvres by Wolfgang Puck Catering and sipped on wines from Clarendelle & Domaine Clarence Dillon, the official wines of the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures, and cocktails from Fanny’s. The live broadcast of the 98th Oscars was streamed in the museum’s state-of-the art David Geffen Theater.
