Fort Wayne Cinema Center, established in 1976, is celebrating its 50th Anniversary. The 2026 Oscar Gala will pay tribute to Cinema Center's 1970s origins with a 70s theme and one of the biggest films to come out of that decade: The Godfather. Attendees are encouraged to dress on theme! Join us on March 14, 2026 at 6 PM at Fort Wayne Cinema Center for an unforgettable Oscar Party & Fundraiser! Walk the red carpet, savor gourmet hors d’oeuvres provided by Bittersweet (with an Italian/Godfather twist), take part in exclusive raffles and an Oscar-Prediction Competition curated by the Cinema Center Board of Directors, and enjoy the musical curation of Nomad Night Club —all while celebrating the art of film and its past, present, and future.
Be part of the celebration as we honor the past, present, and future of film—see you there!

Film is more than entertainment—it’s a window into new worlds, a catalyst for connection, and a force that shapes the future. As we look ahead to the Academy Awards, we’re not just celebrating the best films of the year—we’re embracing the evolving landscape of cinema and the incredible moments we’ve shared at Cinema Center.
