ALT.OSCAR 2012
*Occupy Red Carpet*
Kostume Kult’s 7th annual Oscar night event with the support of Reality Sandwich and Flavorpill
DJs Tim Journeyman Fielding and Boris Burning Elf spinning glam-house and electro-funk during commercials and the slower parts and kicking it harder once the Oscars broadcast are over…
Oscar themed drink and food specials (TBA)
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.
Alty Awards, Red Carpet interviews, Paparazzi, Dancing, Opinions, Protests and Parody… Award Show and Dance Party upstairs, dedicated Hollywood Oscar viewing in the quiet room downstairs…
DRESS: Film Character, Pop Culture Icon, Inspired Eccentric, Creative Black Tie, Star-Stalking Paparazzi or anything fun. Unique protests signs encouraged! Unwashed Hippydom and Jack-Booted Thuggery OK in moderation. For the Alt.Oscar Red Carpet, we are all the 1% ! … Of something 
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.

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 statement’s 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
ABOUT THE ALTIES
Whereas Hollywood caters to “Celebrity Culture”, Alt.Oscar advocates “Participatory Culture” where there are no VIP areas and where the velvet rope is open to anyone who makes an effort. We enjoy the style of Hollywood and pay homage to all the actors and filmmakers but with our own New York City Style!
The Kostume Kult arts collective (aka Costume Cultural Society non-profit) advocates costuming, participatory art forms and culture jamming while hosting a variety of annual themed events. Get involved.
