Are you going to watch the Oscar’s Sunday night? I love to tune in and see the fashions, the emotions and the movie clips. This year we are going to have some finger food and a little bubbly and watch the awards on the “big screen.”
This is HH’s “Man Cave,” and it is usually reserved for sporting events and movies, but I talked him into a little “Night at the Oscars for 2.” We are going to sit here at the bar height sofa table and have some appetizers and champagne.
HH has always been an audio/video enthusiast and he has all kinds of paraphernalia like this microphone and movie reel.
The red cloth is our version of the red carpet, and we will have live music too…
Stashed away in the basement we found this crazy bird guitar player, perfect! He even has his own microphone!
We’ll fill up the popcorn bowl and ice down the champagne
but we won’t be wearing black tie, we will be wearing our pajamas!
We are going nibble on some snack mix…which looks quite fancy served in gold studded martini glasses!
This is sort of an amped up version of traditional chex mix, I added some cashews and caramel bugles along with dry roasted peanuts.
I printed a couple of copies of the ballot for us to refer to during the show. You can find the download for the printables by clicking here
There are other printables available too, like these cute little circle tags that I put into star placecard holders for decoration.
Do you have a favorite movie or actor you will be rooting for this year?
