I'm not throwing an Oscar party this year, but Epicurious just published their menu if anyone else needs inspiration:
I had a whole section about civic pride.
Mayor ,'Chosen'
Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

"What kind of magical sunshine and lollipop world do you live in? Because you need to be medicated."-SFist
Given the number of Best Picture noms and the noms themselves, I decided against a themed menu. And given my apartment, I need to serve something easy to eat or that can be served in one bowl. Right now, I'm leaning towards either Cioppino, or tamales.
ETA:
Almond Baklava with Rosé Water
I'm going to assume that this is a typo and that the good folks at epicurious know the difference between rosé and rose.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
That's an impressive hotel-inspired continental breakfast.

That's an impressive hotel-inspired continental breakfast.
And it includes one of the recipes from my "easy favorites" list, namely, "Scrambled Eggs with Smoked Salmon and Lemon Cream"--they are yum!!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Which reminds me, I have an Oscar party Evite to respond to.

Just got back from seeing the live-action shorts. Not as fun as the animated shorts (although "Instead of Abracadabra" was very funny), but pretty darn good. I think if I were voting I might pick that, or "Miracle Fish."
