This year’s Academy Awards Ceremony is set to be an exciting one.  Chris Rock is hosting for the second time, there are so many great films, actors and producers up for awards, and the red carpet fashion is sure to please.  Why not invite some friends over and watch it together.

Do you need some ideas to throw an impromptu party at your West Hills apartment?

Try these ideas:

Decorate your apartment in gold and black.  You can purchase decorations at a local party store or light candles and hang stars for a festive party atmosphere.

Arrange the furniture so people can move around your apartment, but can also watch the ceremony and the stars arrival.

Finger food is easy on you and your guests.  Purchase small sandwiches, serve cheese and crackers, store bought appetizers and other quick finger foods.

Make star crescent rolls.  Purchase crescent rolls and roll it out.  With a star shaped cookie cutter, make stars.  Place on a cookie sheet and bake.

Set up a popcorn bar and let your guests serve themselves.  Purchase popcorn bags and place them on a table.  Pop plain popcorn and place it in a large bowl with a scoop.  Purchase popcorn toppings such as butter and garlic, parmesan cheese and cinnamon.

Serve champagne or Prosecco, as well as other cocktails.

Buy store bought cupcakes and sprinkle with edible gold decorations.

Play a game of movie trivia, using either the current nominations or other movies.  For example, you can write down famous words from movies and ask your guests to name that movie.  Charades and Pictionary are always fun as well.

However you choose celebrate it, watching the Oscars with friends in your West Hills apartment is a fun way to spend this Sunday.
