A Night at the Oscars at Levittown's Loews Theatre

Your teens are holding a car wash at the high school Saturday. The grandparents volunteered to take the younger children to a movie Sunday afternoon. Your tweens take tap on Wednesday evening. It’s your time. Take it.

Each week, we’ll tell you about one great idea to give you a much deserved break, and make your life a little easier, maybe a whole lot easier.

Last weekend you either watched or heard about the Oscars, the biggest awards night of the year for Hollywood. Levittown may be a far cry from California, but that doesn't mean you can't be a part of the buzz.

Some people rush to the theater as soon as the nominee list is released to judge for themselves, but we know many of you were too busy. Now that the winners have been selected, head over to the AMC Loews Theatre in the Nassau Mall and see what all the talk is about.

"The King's Speech", with Colin Firth and Geoffrey Rush, is currently playing, as is "The Fighter", with  Mark Wahlberg and Christian Bale.

"The King's Speech" was the king of the 2011 Oscars, winning Best Picture, Best Actor (Colin Firth), Best Director (Tom Hooper) and Best Original Screenplay (David Seidler). The best part? This film, based on a royal scandal, is rated R, so you will have to leave the kids at home.

"The Fighter" took home the gold for both Best Supporting Actor (Christian Bale) and Best Supporting Actress (Melissa Leo). This film, also rated R, tells the story of an underdog lightweight going for the title.
