Oscar partygoers at the Kilauea Theater enjoyed a bar-b-que pot luck and attempted to guess who would win Oscars later in the day.

An Oscar party hosted by the Kilauea Theater's Damon Marc raised funds Sunday for the Rotary Club of Hanalei Bay's plan to construct a firefighting and rescue equipment building in Hanalei.

The Oscar party included a live broadcast of the awards show on the big screen at the theater, and a contest with prizes for those who came closes in guessing the winners of Oscars during the day.

It was the night of the "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" at 76th annual Academy Awards held at the Kodak Theatre in Los Angeles.

Top winners according to an Associated Press report included:

Best Picture: "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King."

Actor: Sean Penn, "Mystic River." Actress: Charlize Theron, "Monster."

Supporting Actor: Tim Robbins, "Mystic River." Supporting Actress: Renee Zellweger, "Cold Mountain."

Director: Peter Jackson, "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King."

Cinematography: "Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World."

Marc said a preliminary tally showed that the probable winner at Kilauea was Gwen Squyers of KKCR radio on the North Shore.
