Oscars Watch Party

Sometimes you want to do something a little more festive than order takeout and watch the Academy Awards over takout. We get it. You can the glitziest night in film—while helping a good cause—at The Upper West in Santa Monica. The restaurant and bar is hosting a watch party to benefit the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (25 percent goes right back to the cause), beginning at 4pm. If you arrive before the show begins, you can fill out a ballot and predict the winners for prizes.
