Former Weehawken resident Fred Astaire, who lived on Eldorado Place in the early twentieth century, received his only Academy Award nomination in 1974 for Best Supporting Actor in “The Towering Inferno.” Although no Weehawken residents are up for the prize this year, Hudson County residents were happy to make their own Oscar predictions last week at Port Imperial Houlihan’s in Weehawken.
The Academy Awards will be held this Sunday, March 7, at 7 p.m.
