Celebrate the glamour of Hollywood with an elegant awards night party where every guest feels like a star!
Honor your movie-loving friends by serving up a luxurious buffet of appetizers worthy of the silver screen, accompanied by sophisticated cocktails and your best bubbly.
To get the cinematic fun started, ask guests to fill out ballots and cast their votes for the evening’s winners—then award a prize to the person with the most correct predictions.
If your guests include film buffs with acting aspirations, invite them to reach into a top hat (or sparkling crystal bowl) and draw the name of an awards nominee, whose role they can play for the evening. The catch: they can only quote lines from their character’s movie. It’s up to other guests to guess who they are. At the end of the party, take a vote and present prizes to the most convincing actor and actress.
Since the evening’s entertainment will take center stage, it’s always a good idea to choose a menu starring small plates that are easy to enjoy while guests sip, mix and mingle.
Here are a few of our top food picks for a winning celebration:
Parmesan & Black Pepper Popcorn |
Peppered Beef Tenderloin Crostini There’s nothing like rare beef tenderloin to create an ambiance of gastronomic luxury. And since the beef is served cold, you can roast it a day or two in advance. After roasting, let it cool to room temperature, wrap well and refrigerate until ready to serve. |
 Crab & Cucumber CanapesThese impressive little appetizers come together quickly, so they’re perfect for busy hosts with movies on their minds. Crisp cucumber provides a refreshing contrast to the succulent richness of crabmeat, making these savory bites feel especially light and elegant. |
Oysters with a Garlic-Tarragon Crust |
Shrimp & Vegetable Dumplings |
 Wild Mushroom & Goat Cheese BruschettaThese vegetarian bites are A-list finger food for cocktail parties – and a breeze to make. All you need is some toasted artisan bread, a slathering of goat cheese and a topping of sautéed mushrooms—seriously easy and seriously impressive. |
Celebratory Chocolate Truffles |

Looks to be a seriously awesome way to kick off an awards party. Thanks for sharing.
The dumplings look great. (As do the plates in that photo–I’ve been eyeing them at my WS store for a few weeks now! They’re lovely.)
