The 92nd Oscars is a few hours away. As Hollywood gets ready for its big night, preparations have been going on all week at the Dolby Theatre at the Hollywood and Highland Center.
On Saturday the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences launched Global Movie Day, a day for film fans around the world to celebrate their favorite movies and engage with Academy members and filmmakers across social media. The inaugural holiday was held on February 8, 2020 (the day before the 92nd Oscars) to draw additional awareness and tune-in for the show.
Global Movie Day will be held on the second Saturday of February every year in the heart of Oscar season, to celebrate the power of movies to reach, connect and inspire people around the world. Celebrate Global Movie Day by sharing movies that have inspired you. Post your favorite movie lines on Twitter or the greatest posters on Instagram. Rewatch your favorite movies with friends or visit your local theater to see something new. No matter how you choose to celebrate, be sure to take pictures/videos and share them using #GlobalMovieDay.
