As many of you know by now, every year we have an Oscar party with food themed to the Best Picture nominees. Ideally they'd be puns on the name ("Corndog Millionaire" for "Slumdog Millionaire," "Up in the Éclair" for "Up in the Air"), but if we need to we've gone outside that to make it something prominently featured in the film (e.g., for There Will Be Blood it was milkshakes). A full slideshow of previous foods, or at least for as long as I've been altering posters to match, is here:
ETA: Weird, I DK why clicking the link doesn't take you to my actual Oscar Party Pinterest board. Ugh, apparently Pinterest is just a jerk now and doesn't actually link to the board you're posting the link for? Don't know how to fix that. Under www.pinterest.com it's the sublink /drgirlfriend/oscar-party/ so I guess you can cut and paste those two parts together?
So, here are the Best Picture nominees for this year.
Best Picture:
"1917” “Ford v Ferrari” “The Irishman” “Jojo Rabbit” “Joker” “Little Women” “Marriage Story” “Once Upon a Time … in Hollywood” “Parasite.”
Suggestions are welcome. There will be a strong emphasis on easy-to-prepare stuff -- we suffered greatly when they went up from 5 Best Picture Nominees!
Dun-Kirkland—Costco Appetizer Darkest Sour—cocktail tons of dark liqueurs out there Get Stout—beer Grilled/Fried Lady Bird—chicken Phantom Bread—popovers or other hollow bread The Toast-champagne or mini avocado toast The Shape of Water—no pun but I’d do a Jello aquarium mold.
Earlier when I read about the Big Sick, I was so excited for to make this post so I could suggest you put out a collection of giant lollipops and call them The Big Lick. Then I realized it was not a best picture.
Here are two more ideas:
Dunkirsch - some kind of dessert with kirsch in it
The Phantom Fed - just an empty plate (you wanted easy)
I'm just here for the creativity. I have nothing helpful to add
Same!
Random: "Bridge of Spies" has been playing on cable a lot recently and whenever I scroll past my mind says "Bridge of Pies". I have no idea if you used that one, but I remember it being thrown out there as an option, and it's now the name of the movie in my head, lol.

Yup! We made a bridge out of our son's Duplo blocks and put mini pies on it!

I love this thread--I IMMEDIATELY thought of you dr.girlfriend this morning when the noms were announced! One of my suggestions made it into last year's rotation--I can't remember now which one.
Somebody upthread said Darkest Flour (which is GREAT!) but then said a flourless choco cake--why would it have to be flourless if it's Darkest Flour? I was confused by that one.
