Out and about with Oscar

Share

Short of landing tickets to the Academy Awards at the Kodak Theatre (and, frankly, we wouldn’t have a thing to wear), Oscar parties will be all the rage Sunday. Sure, you can take in the proceedings from the comfort of your own sofa, but there are less genteel options out on the town -- and in the case of this month’s installment of the off-kilter party “Irregular Wine Tasting,” considerably less genteel. “We’re milking the ‘Sideways’ angle to its last drop,” say the oenophiles promoting the event at the Echo nightclub in Echo Park. Meanwhile, at the Alex Theatre in Glendale, there will be plenty of food, drink, raffles and silent auctions, as well as a red carpet, for “The Reel Party,” with proceeds benefiting the theater.

* 77th Annual Academy Awards, 5 p.m. Sunday (ABC-TV).

* “Irregular Wine Tasting: A ‘Sideways’-Centric Oscar-Viewing Party,” the Echo, 1822 Sunset Blvd., L.A.

5 p.m. Sunday. $8. (213) 413-8200; www.attheecho.com.

* “KOST-FM’s The Reel Party,” the Alex Theatre,
