16th February 2015, Mumbai : Golden opportunities seldom knock on your door, so when they do, make sure you are wide awake and watching. On February 23, starting 5:30 AM witness all the glitz and glamour on the biggest stage of Hollywood – The Oscars.

Watch the awards live on Star Movies and you could be on your way to the Oscars 2016 in Los Angeles. Now for a chance as big as this, something as trivial as a ‘Monday’ shouldn’t be a problem.

Just in case Monday looms large as a threat to your destiny, tackle it before it brings you down. Strain those creative juices and come out with an excuse that your boss can’t say no to. Want some help? Star Movies is always ready to help out its viewers and movie lovers in the time of need.

It all started on-air with Star Movies tutoring viewers on the best excuses they could make for the Oscar day, to stay home and watch the Oscars live to beat the Monday blues. Some classics like Aunt Sick, Conjunctivitis, Neck Pain, Fainting and many more creative ideas were shared on-air. The movement has gained popularity online where Star Movies urged its followers to submit their excuses with #AwardWinningExcuses.

Fans across the country started sending their responses with their excuse to skip work and watch the Awards live. The message was further amplified through branding across Jet aircrafts, Gold’s Gyms outlets & PVR Cinemas.

All this effort leads up to one thing – Watch the Oscars Live on Star Movies – for an exclusive chance to watch it live in LA in 2016.

So put your best excuse forward and get ready to catch the biggest Hollywood event of the year with your friends and family.

The Oscars live exclusively on Star Movies at 5:30 am and repeat 8:30 pm on February 23.
