Oscar night hoopla highlights the Weekend Outlook. There's also an animated shorts festival in Wellfleet, and a new theatrical adaption of the Diary of Anne Frank.
The Academy Awards are given out in Hollywood Sunday night, and there are three big parties on the Cape and Martha’s Vineyard for people to celebrate Oscar night. There's the Red Carpet Gala at the Cape Cod Museum of Art, the third annual “An Evening With Oscar” at Chatham Orpheum Theater, and the 2016 Oscars Viewing Party Martha’s Vineyard Film Center.
A different way to see movies before the Oscars on Sunday is a show of animated short films at Wellfleet Preservation Hall.
