Now that the nominees for the 89th annual Academy Awards have been released, it's officially time to start counting down the days and prepping for the big night. And while we unfortunately can't attend the actual awards (what's up with that?), there's no reason why you can't get in on the action and host your very own Oscars party at home.
The Oscars are the epitome of awards ceremonies and present the greatest party opportunity. So, whether you want to go all out -- with swanky attire and all -- or keep it simple, we've put together some ideas that will have your guests clamouring to be invited to your next soiré©e. To ensure you host the most fabulous Oscar viewing party check out our seven tips below.
What to take home
If one thing’s for certain, no one gives swag bags quite like the Oscars. Last year, nominees took home goodie bags that were worth up to $220,000, which included $20,000 mind control lessons!? Don’t let your guest go home empty handed this year. Maybe don’t give them Leo DiCaprio-worthy swag, but a mini bottle of champagne or champagne-infused gummy bears will surely do the trick.
