Oscar Themed Party- Need food ideas!

[mistyt]

Hey disboard friends!

I'm hosting an Oscar party this year and always like to theme my foods after movies either by making a food that has been featured in a movie (ie: Fried Green Tomatos) or a play on a movie (ie: Lord of the Onion Rings).

Does anyone have any other suggestions for good movie themed apps?

I'm out of ideas for this year!

hehe Grits for True Grit, like ^her post.

Guiness for the opening break up/bar scene from the Social Network?
Black something for Black Swan (serving Black Swan Olives as an appetizer type thing?)
Tangled Hair Spaghetti for Tangled

Wings = Winter's Bone
"kid food" = Toy Story 3 (and The Kids are Alright)
"brain food" (salmon on toast, deviled eggs) = Inception

This is why I turn to the DISboards!

I've been looking all over the web and yet I have gotten some of the best suggestions here!

I was wondering the same thing and then came across this perfect site!!
epicurious.com/recipesmenus/holidays/oscars/menus
You can just pick one from each of the nominated films to creat a whole menu.
Good luck!

How about something from the Moonstruck Diner?

Black and White Swan cookies
Since Harry Potter is nominated maybe something from there. I know they have a Harry Potter cookbook
Since True Grit is a western maybe like sliders.
thats all I can think of right now. I'll add more if I can think of anything

I saw a drink one time where the host put toys in the drinks, she made martinis or something and had little toy robots dangling on the edge as the garnish. If you found little Toy Story toys you could do that for drink idea! it was super cute
