Then on Sunday, head over to the Tampa Theatre for the annual Oscar Experience: Tampa, an event sanctioned by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences which benefits Tampa Theatre’s artistic and educational programs. Attendees will take limo rides, battle the photographers and spar with “Roan Jivers,” before heading inside to watch the telecast on the big screen. In addition, guests will receive the same Oscar program that Affleck, Spielberg, and the rest will be thumbing through at the big show in Hollywood while fighting the boredom during the endless TV broadcast. Feb. 24, 6:30 p.m. Tampa Theatre, 711 N. Franklin St., Tampa, 813-274-8981, tampatheatre.org. $30 for adults, $25 for Theatre members, $20 for students with a valid ID.
