Putting Together an Oscars Celebration worthy of the Stars

The Oscars are coming up February 26 and for movie aficionados, that is ample cause for a celebration. An Oscars Academy Awards party can be loads of fun, whether you just invite a handful of friends or have a big gala event.

An Oscars Party can be an informal event, or you can have your guests dress up like stars. You can hold the party at any location you wish, as long as it is big enough for your guest list. Just make sure that you have a good sized television to view the show on. If you really want to pull all of the stops, rent a movie theater to host your event and watch the Oscars on the big screen.

Make your Oscars party really special by renting a popcorn machine from AZ Party Rents and popping fresh popcorn for the guests. No movie event would be complete without popcorn. Something about fresh popped corn from a movie theater, it just tastes better then the stuff you make from home. By using a movie theater style popcorn machine, you can have the good stuff at your event, plus the machine is easy to use, pops a large quantity at once, and keeps the corn warm until it is served. To really replicate the flavor from the theater, put a small spoon full of Flavacol seasoning salt on the kernels before putting them in the popper. Serve the popcorn with melted butter or if you prefer you can use Whirl or another butter alternative.

For a casual event, serve movie theater style concessions, pizza, candy, and soda. Be sure to get theater bags (or buckets) and cups, so you can replicate the whole movie theater feel. If you prefer a more elegant affair, serve champagne in glasses and fancy hors d’oeuvres.

Have partygoers vote on their favorites for each of the categories at the beginning on the party. You can then name off the winners based on your party’s ballets right before the actual winners are announced on the show and see how many coincide with the official vote. Find out which one of the party goers votes for the most of the actual winners for a prize. Consider giving a prizes, like DVDs and posters of the nominated movies. Play movie trivia during the ads and sing along and dance with the songs. Send the guests home with swag bags with fun movie related stuff. Most importantly, have lots of fun. Be sure the paparazzi are invited to your party or at least make sure there’s someone taking lots of pictures to immortalize the event.

Hope you have a great Oscars event! In the mean time, hurry up and watch as many as the nominees as possible so you are ready to cast your ballet on Oscar night.
