It’s awards show season, which means one thing: watch parties. Unsure of where to start with food and decor? Let this blog post be your guide.

Let’s face it, the food is the star of any party. For an awards show viewing party, you’ll want a wide variety of options for guests to munch on throughout the night. Awards shows certainly aren’t getting any shorter, which is fun for film and music lovers everywhere, but without a wide variety of food, guests may not enjoy themselves as much. Choose from any (or all!) of these recipes to hit it out of the park.

Decor is another important element to hosting a watch party. You can’t go wrong with gold balloons, especially for the Oscars—where gold comes in spades. Have ballots printed out so people can write down predictions before the winners are announced (have a prize for whoever predicts accurately the most amount of times). Don’t forget about commercial breaks—keep the party alive with games (awards show-themed bingo and prosecco pong would keep guests plenty entertained).

Awards shows are all about celebrating arts and culture from the past year, and it’s always a good idea to get loved ones together to make it even more of a celebration. These tips and recipes will make for one entertaining watch party.
