Before Zuccotti Park, Tahrir Square and the Tea Bagger movement, there was the Alt.Oscar Awards Event - An annual Oscar spoof where the Red Carpet is not just for the Hollywood 1% but for anyone who makes an effort, brings their fabulousness, attitude and pet causes... Real or imagined.

This Occupation begins on Oscar Night...

ALTY AWARDS for Best Celebrities, Best Costumes (from a recent film), Fight the Power! (funniest statements) and Lifetime Achievement (real or imagined)... ALTY JUNIORS for feats of brilliance and absurdity.

2011 FILMS:
Dragon Tattoos, War Horses. Sherlock, Harry and those Glittery Vampires back at it again... Many others! How about "Oh, The Places You will Go at Burning Man"? Other online memes?

OCCUPIER RANT:
We, a committed cadre of creative insurgents and anonymous film buffs, believe it is time for the 99% to overcome the oppression of celebrity hamminess, Botox, and scripted set pieces to Occupy the Oscars. We believe that fabulousness, attitude and glamor are not just for the elite few of the Hollywood machine but for all of those willing to make an effort and strut their stuff, given a stage and an opportunity. Occupy the red carpet. Occupy the acceptance speech. Occupy the dressing room. Take back the Oscars. Overthrow the old order and install art for fun’s sake in its stead. Because revolution does not mean social upheaval alone – it also means fashion, frivolity, and festival.

*** NOTE***
No boring political statements are intended in the making of this farce. This is a red-carpeted stage where fun shall be made... At your discretion.

To volunteer, be a photo/video paparazzi, provide faux-glamorous art/decor or participate in the "Occupy The Stage" protestor vs. riot cop dance-off. Please contact Alty Producer Lina at: lina.skiba@gmail.com
