Oscar Night Extravaganza!

[Guest guest]

*** Oscar Night Extravaganza!

 

Oscar night brings the stars close enough for all of us

to touch.

So beckon Hollywood right into your living room by throwing

an Oscar party to remember.

Invite your favorite film buffs, celebrity

gossip-loving pals, and beautiful people to air out their

black ties and sequins and come to your house for an

Academy Awards extravaganza complete

with movie-inspired munchies.

*** Oscar Night Bites

 

Everyone will be gathered around the television with

bated breath when the big winners are announced,

but the real star of the long ceremony will be

the award-worthy party food you serve!

 

* Movie Munchies. Have a whole potluck banquet based on

the best picture nominees. Send your guests the link to

our

movie-inspired menus and ask everyone to bring a dish based

on their favorite film.

 

Or, just serve lots of sophisticated finger food like the

stuff that will be served at the Hollywood awards-night

parties. Decorate the banquet table with black and gold

accents and drape it with shiny metallic star garlands

available at any party store.

 

* Glamorous Gifts. Many Oscar presenters and nominees

receive extravagant gift baskets full of jewelry,

sunglasses, cutting-edge electronic gadgets and gift

certificates for spa treatments and exotic vacations. Make

your own version of these highly coveted gift baskets for

your party guests.

 

You can make one for each attendee or just make a few to

give away as prizes to the people who correctly guess the

winners for selected categories. You could include

homemade cookies or candies, aromatherapy bath salts,

candles, special tea blends, champagne, exotic fruit, or

gourmet chocolates.

 

* Fresh-Baked Fame. The forecourt of the legendary Mann's

Chinese Theatre is where Hollywood's crème de la crème are

invited to immortalize themselves by leaving their

handprints, footprints and signatures in squares of the

cement. Allow everyone at your party to leave their mark

in their own edible version of an illustrious square.

 

Press large sheets of sugar cookie dough into square

aluminum baking pans--one for each guest--and let them go

to it. Handprints, nose prints, lip prints - let everyone

have fun (temporarily) immortalizing themselves in a medium

much tastier than cement.

 

Bake the giant cookies during the party and then provide

tubes of icing and edible gold dust for everyone to add

their autographs and decorative accents. These make great

party souvenirs or show-watching munchies.
