It's become a tradition for my Wife, Friends and I, to hold Oscar screening dinner parties all month long leading up to the Oscars. Once the nominations are announced, we all pick a specific movie to host and try to theme our dinner parties around the topic/location etc.
For example, this year I screened "Midnight in Paris", so I bought several bottles of french wine, and paired that up with crepes, brie, croissants and escargot.
My friend who hosted "Moneyball" served beer, hotdogs, peanuts and crackerjacks.
Now that they've added so many movies, we've had dinner parties twice a week all month long. It kinda works out as the longer we do the tradition, more friends want to get on board and join in.
I gotta admit, I'm usually more excited for the food/drinks than the movies themselves, this years picks have been brutal to sit through (The Artist was a silent film, and I have ADD and an iphone so I don't really remember it much).
In fact I've now seen all 9 nominated movies and didn't particularly like any of them, although I liked the dinosaur scene in Tree of Life
