Since not everyone could be in L.A. for Sunday night's Academy Awards show, Boston decided to have its own! Hosted at the new Hard Rock Cafe - Fanueil Hall, this Oscars party was actually a fundraiser for The Ellie Fund, a charitable organization which supports the caregivers of those with breast cancer. Festivities included live music performed by the Evan Goodrow Band, dinner from Green Olive Catering, a silent auction, and a live feed of that "other party" in L.A. - with popcorn of course!
