Awards Show Watch Parties and Events in Columbus

Awards shows are equivalent to the Super Bowl for many; with parties and events to enjoy the pre-shows, entertainment, and main events.

No matter your favorite awards shows, there are events around the Columbus to celebrate the best of the year in each category – whether you agree or not.

Music, film, sports and more – the entertainment business keeps us, well, entertained.

Whether your favorites win or not, its always fun to watch the red carpet, check out the attire, listen to musical performances, and see who has craziest speeches (you know some celebrities are good for that).
