Entrance to The U.S. National Archives for free Oscar screenings is on Constitution Avenue at Seventh/Patricia LeslieFor the eighth consecutive year, Oscar nominees in four film categories will be screened at no charge at National Archives from Wednesday through Sunday.
The categories are Documentary Feature, Documentary Short Subject, Live Action Short Film, and Animated Short Film, however, the acclaimed Pina documentary feature will not be shown on February 24 as previously announced.
The screenings will be presented in the William G. McGowan Theater by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in partnership with the Charles Guggenheim Center for the Documentary Film and the Foundation for the National Archives, located across the street from the ice-skating rink at the National Gallery of Art at the corner of Seventh and Constitution. (Metro station: Archives-Navy Memorial-Penn Quarter.)
Seating is on a first-come, first-served basis, and no reservations are permitted. All must be present to receive tickets which shall be distributed at the Special Events entrance on Constitution Avenue, 60 minutes before start time, and doors will open 30 minutes after that. (I have seen lines form two hours before showtime.)
Some films may be inappropriate for general audiences.
The hole left by Pina's cut from Friday night will be filled by another screening of the Live Action Short Film Nominees (100 minutes) which will also be shown on Saturday at noon.
