AMC theaters to host Oscar best-picture marathon tomorrow

For anyone who hasn’t seen the five best-picture Oscar nominees this year (and it seems many of you haven’t), select AMC multiplexes will offer a marathon on Saturday for just $30 a person (or $25 for people with MovieWatcher rewards cards). That includes free unlimited popcorn.

The show will kick off with Milk (pictured above) at 10:30 a.m. and end with Frost/Nixon at 9:45 p.m. In between The Reader will screen at 1:05 p.m., The Curious Case of Benjamin Button at 3:45 p.m. and Slumdog Millionaire at 7:15 p.m. Patrons can come and go freely once they purchase an event pass, which the theater claims will be “collectible,” whatever that means.
