IT'S the final weekend before Hollywood royalty come together for the glitziest night of the year.

The Academy Awards take place on Sunday and we're continuing our tie up with Harbour Lights Picturehouse throughout Oscar season.

To celebrate, we're giving one film fan a membership of the cinema each week.

The lucky winner will be able to watch all the hotly-tipped films for free, including Moonlight, which has come to the Ocean Village cinema a week earlier than anticipated.

Moonlight, which has eight nominations including Best Picture, is the story of an African-American gay man growing up in a USA that is perhaps even more intolerant than ever. In only his second feature after the brilliant but undervalued Medicine For Melancholy, writer-director Barry Jenkins successfully employs three different actors to portray the same character at three different ages.

Charismatic newcomer Alex Hibbert plays the young, naive schoolboy living with his emotionally unreliable addict mother (Naomie Harris, Our Kind Of Traitor); Ashton Sanders (Straight Outta Compton) is the bullied teenager fully discovering his sexuality; and American football star Trevante Rhodes gives a breakout performance as the confident drug-dealing adult, a tribute to the role model who helped him endure his difficult upbringing.

A membership entitles the bearer to free film tickets, discounts on all tickets, priority booking for the hottest tickets and ten per cent off food and drinks.

For your chance to win, just answer the following question:

How many Oscar nominations does Moonlight have?
