Here are some ideas for throwing an Oscar Party at home.

• Decorate the tables with some Oscar confetti (printable) featuring some of the nominees
• Add some fun gold Oscar trophies around the room
• Go with a glamourous 50s theme of old Hollywood
• A suggested colour palette for the decor is gold, white and black with lots of old-fashioned crystal
• Select a gold runner on a black tablecloth for the buffet for a stunning look.
• Tie plain white napkins with gold ribbon
• Wrap up the popcorn in colourful cup wrap (printable)

Let everyone fill in their guesses of who will win awards on a ballot before the show starts. The guest with the largest number of correct answers receives a bottle of champagne or a similar prize.
