Party Time: Actor Kevin Pollak (“The Usual Suspects,” “Casino”) will host an Oscar party catering to the entertainment industry at the Omni Los Angeles Hotel & Centre on the big night next Monday, beginning at 8:30 p.m. A part of the proceeds will go to the Jeffrey Foundation, a nonprofit group serving the handicapped. . . . For those who aren’t entertainment biz insiders, Ed Debevic’s restaurant will hold its 3rd Annual Oscar Night Bash next Monday at 5 p.m. Tickets are $25; reservations can be made by calling (310) 659-9992. The party will feature the Oscars on big screen TVs, ‘50s style food and servers dressed as Oscar nominees. Proceeds go to the L.A. Foodbank. . . . And then there’s the Oscar bash in cyberspace. Cinemania’s Utterly Superlative Global Multimedia Internet Oscar Happening is an online Oscar celebration that began earlier this month with pre-Oscar news at Cinemania Online (https://www.msn.com/cinemania), a Microsoft-linked service. On Oscar night, the party will offer live cyber-reports from the Academy Awards and the after-parties.
