Party Like a Movie Star

Only two more days until the Oscars. Can you handle the excitement? (More importantly, can you handle Star Jones Reynolds's cheesy comments on E!'s red carpet preshow?)

If you still haven't made plans, don't fret: There are a few Oscar parties happening around town. Joan Kirby at the AFI Silver Theatre -- where the area's only official Academy-sanctioned party will be held -- promises an open bar, three viewing options for the show and some "surprises" on the red carpet. Added bonus: The Post's own Desson Thomson will serve as master of ceremonies, so feel free to try to stump him with random trivia questions. (I'm sure he'll love me for encouraging that.)

As for me, I'll be here at the office with Maura, working to bring you the best darn Oscar coverage a Web site can provide. If you're not out partying it up, feel free to send me a question during Sunday night's online discussion. See you then, million dollar babies.
