Movie buffs, this one’s for you. If you’re trying to catch up on all of Hollywood’s “Best Picture” nominees ahead of the big awards show, there’s a pass for that.
Regal announced this week something called the “Best Picture Film Festival Pass,” a ticket that includes screenings of all nine Best Picture flicks at select movie theaters nationwide for $35.

The pass can be purchased now via the Regal Mobile App and will be valid from Feb. 23 through March 4 – the date of the 90th Annual Academy Awards. The app is available here for Apple users or here for Andriod users.
These potential Oscar winners are included in the pass:

The screenings take place at 1 p.m., 4 p.m., 7 p.m. and 10 p.m. – though not every movie on the list plays every day at those times. Viewers can check showtimes for specific movies included in the festival pass on this website.

It also won't hurt to double-check those showtimes with the movie theater or theaters where you plan to screen the movies.
And, with that, pass the popcorn, please.
