Making snarky comments about ugly gowns and self-important acceptance speeches is so much more fun when you’re hosting your own Academy Award bash.
You Will Need
- Red material
- Disposable or Polaroid cameras
- Oscar ballots
- Pencils
- Finger foods
- Champagne
- Swag bags
- Scrapbooks
Step 1: Roll out the red carpet
Roll out the red carpet for your friends by heading to a home improvement store or fabric emporium for some cheap red material or carpet remnants that can grace your entryway.
Step 2: Take pictures
Snap a picture of each guest as he walks through the door, ask who they’re wearing and make a note of it.
Pick up a few disposable or Polaroid cameras for your guests to use.
Step 3: Hand out ballots
Give each guest an Oscar ballot and a pencil and invite them to return the completed form with a $5 bill for a winner-takes-all contest.
Step 4: Serve hors d’oeuvres
Serve hors d’oeuvres rather than a sit-down meal that would distract from the awards. A variety of easy-to-eat finger foods and champagne will keep things simple.
Step 5: Give out awards
Present a few of your own awards for things like Best Gown, Best Hair, and Biggest Drama Queen.
You can order fake Oscar statues online.
Step 6: Don’t forget the swag bags
Don’t forget the swag bags: Every person who attends the Oscars is sent home with a swag bag full of promotional goodies, so give your guests a nice send-off with a bag full of dollar-store treats.
Step 7: Share the pictures
When you get your pictures developed, make small scrapbooks for your guests. Include who wore what, who came with whom, and some catty and gossipy comments about the night.
The official Oscar after-party is the Governor’s Ball, and was first held at the Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood in 1929.
