Take in Hollywood's biggest night with the Calgary International Film Festival and Palomino Smokehouse!

Join us at the Palomino from 5:00 PM - 9:00 PM on Sunday, March 27 for a live viewing party, as well as an array of fun award show-themed games with prizes valued at up to $4,000!  

Due to a particularly litigious rodent, we can’t use the official trademarked name of the awards show, but you know what we’re talking about. Little naked gold men as trophies, a slideshow of dead entertainers, Meryl Steep always wins something, even if she wasn’t in a movie that year. You get it. 

This event is FREE and open to the public, but we do encourage you to book a table at The Palomino in advance so you can secure your seat!
