Oscar party ideas

post #1 of 39
Thread Starter 
I've invited friends over to watch the Oscars (mainly an excuse to drink with buddies) and wanted to spice it up with some Oscar themed drinks or appetizers. Any ideas? I was trying to think up of things related to the Best Picture noms, like having apple strudel for Basterds and making some sort of blue drink called "Pandora Punch". Thoughts?

As for all Oscar parties, formal attire is required.

- There should be ample helium balloons to salute UP!

- formal mixer! (blue, like Avatar Na'vi!)

- H Bomb cocktail Recipe it's the official Hurt Locker Drink (still keeping the Avatar theme!)

- and to celebrate the air up there -- sick sack air sickness bags! for the eventual alcohol induced vomiting

Get a room, set up a lot of mattresses, drugs, toys and no condoms. Take out the lights and call it the "Precious" room.

Thanks Snaieke! That H Bomb drink just sounds like a Long Island Iced Tea mixed with Hypnotiq. Kinda frightening, but intriguing all the same.

I just threw up in my mouth a little.

Knock off both District 9 and A Serious Man in one shot with Chinese takeout. Szechwan shrimp sounds right.

Spaced District 9...


Popcorn with green food coloring spray!

an homage to my favorite scene with the giddy Sharlto Copley describing the noise of burning exploding prawn eggs.

You know, I was like... 10 seconds away from going out for Chinese... now, not so much.

Crazy Shaped Hearts (I dunno, work with me here)
Have everyone make a Julia Child themed recipe!
The Princess and the Frog Legs
Cocoa Before Chanel

Now I'm just trying to be witty, bah. Just get some alcohol and fancy suits.

If you empty out the contents of your fridge now you can have The Milk of Sorrow by Oscar night.

Hebrew National hot dogs with a variety of really spicy toppings = Inglourious Musterds

Yes! Oscar whip-its!

PS Rather than alcoholic beverages, I think this should be served in place of champaign. It's fantastic stuff

Huh... Snaieke = party planner extraordinaire.

Who knew?

Get an all-white/vanilla cake. White Ribbon Cake.

If you do an Oscar pool, run side bets on how many people cry, how many people thank God, who the last person in the Death Reel is, etc.

Thanks, but those recipies aren't movie inspired.

Drink a shot of booze everytime a category's winner is the wrong choice.
I'd dial 911 and report alcohol posoning in advance.
If Avatar, The Blind Side or Up in the air wins best picture, grab the nearest bottle of whiskey and chug until you make John Belushi proud.

I'm amazed I didnt die of alcohol poisoning when "Shakespeare in love" won.
Last oscar party i attended had red-bull and champagne mixed glasses....not my thing, but it was wildly popular.

PS Speaking of Oscar Parties, I'm looking forward to having a CHUD-PARTY on the message board during the Oscars! Should be cool.

Airline, or just plain little bags, of peanuts are appropriate for Up in the Air.

Frankly, you could just serve ham in honor of the acting categories.
post #29 of 39
Kinda obvious I guess, but I wrote about this on my blog earlier in the year:

I got shrimp for myself for new years, and the half eaten tails GLOWED when the lights were turned off. It was sickening... yet also strangely perfect for D9!


Also, another idea: Take cat food and add in blue food coloring for a Na'vi-licious treat

Peanuts are a great idea!

LOL! It's so funny when winners take the award as some sort of validation. I can't wait to hear what Bullock has to say given this may be her one and only chance at an Oscar.

Its not food, but making it a costume party can be quite fun, if you set a good theme; a former friend baack in collegue did this with the theme being "Your most lamented snub/loss"; we had quite a few Andy Dufresnes, a Ripley and even some Goodfellas; the winner (who won a chocolate oscar) was this fat dude that was the only genius to come dressed up as Citizen Kane.

Also;
List One

My friends don't dress up. They are very lame that way.

Also, your second link is the same as the first.

Their loss.

Second link fixed, hope that helps.

Shame Gary Busey isnt nominated...you could offer mixed nuts.


okay, that was bad, even by my low standars.

I've worn costumes before, but only on Halloween or other such special occasions. Dressing up for the Oscars seems more embarrassing

That second link is great.

I might even suggest a bottle of Mogen David for A Serious Man. But you certainly have a range of options there. Herring bites. Matzo. Bagels. Brisket. Reuben sandwiches. Kosher pickles.

Perhaps pick up some English cheeses for A Single Man and An Education. Or English beer. Or fish and chips.

Thanks.

Also, its a bit cliched, but a movie based cake would be a good dessert idea.

EDIT: Unless you go overboard with it...

Do a three-tiered cake with lemon frosting. Call it "The Mountain of Conflict with Difficult, Difficult, Lemon Difficult frosting."
