Though wearing special attire is not required, ArtsQuest encourages guests to dress up for the viewing party, with prizes for Best Dressed Couple, Best Dressed Male and Best Dressed Female to be awarded before the Oscars® ceremony starts. There will also be an Oscar Pool where participants try to predict the winners in 10 different award categories, with the person who comes closest in his or her predictions earning a 2015 Season Pass to see films at the Alehouse Cinemas.
