Will your favorite movie win? The envelope, please! Movie critics Ty Burr and Janice Page of The Boston Globe return with lively banter and predictions for the popular “Handicapping The Oscars.” On Thursday, February 19, from 7:00 – 8:00 p.m. in the Keys Community Room of the Milton Public Library, The Boston Globe film critics for Movie Nation will discuss the likely winners for this year’s Academy Awards.  Find out how your favorite movie may fare.  Overflow parking at Town Hall across from the library.

Ty Burr’s book, Gods Like Us: On Movie Stardom and Modern Fame will be available for sale and autographing. With brilliant insight and entertaining examples, Burr reveals the fame game at its flashiest, most indulgent, occasionally most tragic, and ultimately it’s most culturally revealing.

The event is sponsored by The Friends of the Milton Public Library and is free to the public. Refreshments will be served. For more information, visit www.miltonlibrary.org or contact Jean Hlady, 617 697-5757.
