 Oscar Party Ideas
For those that follow me on social media, you know that each year I host a pretty big Oscar party. We start planning the annual party in the Fall, putting together ideas for the dinner menu, etc. Each BP nominee has their own dish, sometimes the actors as well. The nominees this year are weirder than normal, so I'm looking for food ideas for the 8 BP nominees. Some pics from last year

 Re: Oscar Party Ideas
We are toying with the idea of doing a full-blown Mad Max cake, though that might turn the entire party into a Mad Max celebration and not Oscar celebration. Maybe we'll pass out cans of  Some of those ideas are pretty good! We also try to use alliteration as much as possible but obviously nothing rhymes with Revenant.

 Re: Oscar Party Ideas
The meals we really haven't figured out are
The Big Short Spotlight Brooklyn
All have to be savory, preferably vegetarian, dishes as the sweets and desserts are catered.

 Re: Oscar Party Ideas
It could also be something related to the church, child abuse, newspapers, any of the actors.
Because of Boston, we did look at clam chowder but there's already a stew on the menu. I guess we could do a Beantown dish?
