5th Annual Oscars Preview
A night of glitz, glamour, and fun! At the historic Varsity Theater on Franklin St., our two film experts – Rachel Schaevitz and Dana Coen – broke down this year’s best picture nominees and talked about all the trends, snubs, and surprises from this year’s Academy Awards. This gala event was MC’d by Max Owre, with an assist from his daughter Elise.
Thanks to all who attended. Special thanks to our co-sponsors, the UNC General Alumni Association. We couldn’t have pulled it off without you!
