You’ve seen all the movies and have your favorites, now its time to celebrate film’s biggest night with a party of your own! We’ve compiled a list of fun recipes and decorations worthy of winning an award. Now if there was only a “Best Oscar Party Host” category.
- Nominee Napkin– This easy party hack from Food Network will definitely wow your party guests. Simply fold each guest’s napkin, place a gold sticker and some red ribbon, and each party guests gets their own nominee envelope!
- Sparkling Winter Sangria– Even though it may not feel like winter, this glitzy cocktail is perfect for any glamorous occasion despite the season. Impress guests with this combination of prosecco, St.-Germain and ruby red grapefruit.
- Champagne Shrimp on Endive– This decadent (and addicting) appetizer looks sophisticated but is really quite simple. The shrimp can be poached ahead and the dressing can be made hours in advance.
- Make Oscar Ballots– Get guests involved by having them fill out who they think will win each category, from Best Picture to Best Original Score. Find a fun prize for whoever gets the most correct!
- Create a true concession stand– Stock up on boxed candy (think Junior Mints and jelly beans) and popcorn (we like this truffled recipe from Food & Wine for something more decadent)to create a snack bar for you guests. After all, you can’t watch an event revolving around movies without movie theatre snacks!
- Double Dark Chocolate Cupcakes with Peanut Butter Filling– Dark chocolate is about as rich as it gets, but peanut butter really steals the show in this fudgy cupcake. Treat your guests to this yummy dessert, and even sprinkle some gold edible glitter on top for some added flair.
We hope these ideas will make your Oscar watch party as memorable as all of the films nominated this year. Now that you’ve got some ideas, you’re almost ready to sit back, relax and enjoy the show!
