Oscar Night in Philly: It’s was a night of food, fun and movies, with guests dressing up, some as their favorite characters from nominated films, walking the red carpet all in the name of raising funds to benefit the Philadelphia Film Society.
Ernest’s favorites this year were best picture Holdover and everyone’s favorite supporting actress Philly’s own Da’Vine Joy Randolph, actress Lily Gladstone, actor Robert Downey Jr., songstress Billie Eilish, although he’d love to see songwriter Diane Warren win in her lifetime. She’s been nominated 15 times, and has never won. He knows his stuff as nearly everyone he chose won.

Usually he’s in front of the camera, but fashion model Jalen Hoang who always makes the scene next level does a favor for a friend.
Jan’ah McClean and Diane Duncan loved Oppenheimer. The last film they saw was Dune 2, which they recommend. It’s sooo long you can grab a quick nap and still know what’s going on, but make sure you watch the first Dune so you can follow along.
All proceeds from this annual fundraiser support the Philadelphia Film Society’s mission of creating opportunities for diverse communities to experience film through initiatives that inspire, educate, challenge and entertain.
