Tonight is the big night! We normally have a party in honor of the Academy Awards, but this year is different. The east coast time zone combined with a 2 year old with an early-ish bedtime has really done a number on our party hosting. (I’m looking at you too, Super Bowl!)

If I WERE hosting a party though, I would print out this ballot, these bingo cards, and create a menu that looks something like this…

Our Oscar party spread, circa 2017

• Caramelized onion, mushroom, and gruyere tartlets
• Baked brie and prosciutto rolls
• Grown up pizzas
• Potato chip salted champagne caramels. (We made these in 2017 and they were delicious!)
• And of course, fancy popcorn: Wegmans has this truffle finishing butter that is SO good on freshly popped popcorn! We’ll be enjoying it this evening!

And a bonus photo of Michael from the 2016 show. What a round little cutie!
