Annual Oscar Party Thread

[dr.girlfriend]

So, truth is I wasn't going to post this because we are not actually doing the Oscar party this year since DH is speaking at SXSW instead.  It got cancelled last year when he got COVID, and the year before because of COVID in general, and all told it's been a pretty bad couple of years for Oscar night celebrations in the dr.girlfriend household, but somehow I just can't quit the puns, so let's do it anyway!  Maybe if work gets stressful I'll even make the posters to procrastinate.  Here are the best picture nominees this year:

Best Picture

All Quiet on the Western Front
Avatar: The Way of Water
The Banshees of Inisherin
Elvis
Everything Everywhere All at Once
The Fabelmans
Tár
Top Gun: Maverick
Triangle of Sadness
Women Talking

For anyone new, we typically host an Oscar party and have foods that are a play on words for Best Picture nominees.  Here are a few of my favorites from Oscar Parties Past:

All Quiet on the Western Omelette
Avatar: The Way of Watercress    (I'm thinking tea sandwiches)
The Banoffee (Pie) of Inisherin   (This is my favorite pun)
Everything Bagels All At Once
Tartare or Tartar (Sauce)
Tri-tip of Sadness    (This one makes me laugh)

If I tried to cook beef it probably would be sadness!  :-)

I love these annual posts (and your amazing movie posters) and - I hope this is not creepy - have been hoping you’d post since the nominations came out! Thank you and hope your H has an amazing time at SXSW even though it means no party.

I was ready to jump in with Western Omelette and Everything Bagel but I see they’ve been covered, lol.

If you've seen the movie it's very appropriate!  :-D

Oooh, I do have an ice-shaving machine I haven't broken out in awhile!  And we've also done "Avatart" and "The Shape of Watermelon" but Water Ice is a new one!

I definitely don't mind being a creeper - I think of dr.girlfriend the second I see the noms each year!

AND I DM'd her right away to get my hot takes in.

Beat me to it! I think they're supposed to be fried?

I would do biscuits and gravy (or a sweet topping like peaches) for All Quiet on the Western Front.

this post always makes me think of that post with a lot of letters in her name...abcde? something like that. Does anyone know what happened to her?
