In what has become a decades-long All Saints tradition, retired Los Angeles Times film critic and author Kenneth Turan will present his lively annual pre-Academy Awards look at what’s hot and what’s not in recent film festivals and in the Oscar race — on Academy Awards day — in the Forum, on Sunday, March 10, at 9:00 a.m.

Before his April 2020 retirement, Ken was film critic for the Los Angeles Times and National Public Radio’s Morning Edition as well as the director of the Los Angeles Times Book Prizes. He has been a staff writer for the Washington Post as well as the Times’ book review editor. A graduate of Swarthmore College and Columbia University’s Graduate School of Journalism, he teaches film reviewing and non-fiction writing at USC – and we are grateful to have him back with us to talk movies on Oscar Sunday.

Come with questions! Invite your family and friends! This is always one of the most popular Forums of the year. Don’t miss this opportunity to see one of America’s great film critics. All are welcome. Admission is free.

All Saints Church is at 132 N. Euclid Ave., Pasadena 91101, across Euclid from Pasadena City Hall.
