★ AMC’s Best Picture Showcase. Get Your Tickets.

AMC Theatres Promo Last week, I was invited along with a few other bloggers for a national AMC theatres promotion where they show all five films that are nominated for The Oscars’ 2009 Best Picture award. I’m excited to be joining bloggers from all over the US to take part in this. With the help of AMC, I’ll be blogging throughout the day, sending photos to Flickr, blog posts to this blog and posts to Facebook and Twitter.

In San Francisco, I’m joined by the following bloggers:

This day long showcase of the 5 Oscar nominees takes place in Los Angeles, Toronto, Denver, Atlanta, Toronto and St. Louis among other cities. The price for a ticket is only $30. Here’s the press release and schedule.
