Watch Oscar nominees at Cinema Nouveau
JOBURG - If you're wondering what all the fuss is about surrounding the Oscar nominees then you may want to catch up on the nominated films.
Cinema Nouveau will be screening the Oscar-nominated films over the next two months for South African audiences and is looking to find out what viewers think of each film.
“We’ve all read the critics’ reviews of these films,” said Lola Gallant, brand manager of Cinema Nouveau at Ster-Kinekor Theatres. “But, what we are looking for is your review of the Oscar-nominated films – to display in our cinemas, on the big screen and posted on our social media platforms for the South African movie-loving community to see, share and comment on.”
Viewers are encouraged to watch any of the Oscar-nominated films in the Best Picture and other categories and post a short, sharp and pithy review on Facebook or Twitter using #OscarBuzz.
Contributors could win weekly prizes over the seven-week period as the competition will run from 16 January until 9 March.
Apart from the weekly prizes one lucky person will be the recipient of the grand prize – the Cinema Nouveau Reviewer of 2015.
The winner of this prestigious title will be selected by the Ster-Kinekor marketing team based on the best Oscar-nominated movie review posted on Facebook or Twitter using #OscarBuzz.
The prize is a Ster-Kinekor Movie Premiere Card which entitles the winner for free films at any Cinema Nouveau or Ster-Kinekor cinema for one year.
