Regal Announces Month-Long “And the Award Goes to…” Series Ahead of 98th Oscars. Moviegoers looking to catch up on this year’s heavy hitters or revisit timeless classics are in luck. Regal has officially announced the return of its popular repertory program, the “And the Award Goes to…” series, featuring 31 Academy Award®-recognized films on the big screen throughout March.

The series is designed to build momentum for the 98th Oscars ceremony, scheduled for March 15, while also serving as a promotional springboard for Focus Features’ upcoming September release of Sense and Sensibility.

The program is divided into five themed weeks, ranging from modern snubs and fan favorites to the current crop of Best Picture contenders.
