The 81st Academy Awards are upon us, but there's no need to cram in front of your living room TV with your best mates, you can watch them on the big screen for free at the Terrace Theater.

Just remember only the first 200 people get in -- doors open at 7:30 p.m. on Sunday, February 22, for the 8 p.m. show.

The theater is at 1956 Maybank Highway on James Island.

Here's who's nominated, and a printable ballet so you can play along.
