Hit Up the W San Diego's Oscars Party for as Low as $20

Oscars time is right around the corner, and if you're dying to see whether Meryl will beat out Sandra for best actress or whether Avatar will sweep all the categories, watch the show in style. This week, we'll look at Academy-sanctioned hotel shindigs where you'll be able to dress up, see if you won the office Oscar pool and help raise cash for charity.

If you can't sneak into the Academy Awards in Hollywood on March 7, a good fall-back plan is to head south to the W San Diego for its Oscars viewing party.

Unlike a lot of the Academy-sanctioned shindigs, the W's party is cheap. It costs $30, and you can even knock that down to $20 by entering "oscar" as the promo code at checkout. We practically spent that amount for tickets to see Avatar in 3-D.

Of course, for that amount of money, you won't be getting filet mignon. It'll be more like a cocktail party. Your ticket will get you a drink, gourmet popcorn, a raffle ticket and access to the "Eye Candy" bar, an upscale snack and candy bar.

Although the spread and the ticket price might suggest that this is a casual affair, you're supposed to dress to impress. It is a W Hotel, after all. It may be in foreclosure, but the W will party like it's 1999 with festivities bumping on all three levels of the hotel.

If you decide to gawk at this year's Bjork swan dress equivalent at the hotel, your ticket will benefit the San Diego Film Foundation.
