It's here, the superbowl of award shows is upon us, the Academy Awards (aka The Oscars).  For some reason I've never gotten around to throwing a party to celebrate (perhaps it's because I'm really there for the red carpet and I pass out at like 9 pm), but if I did, this is definitely how I'd be setting my party up.

To prep check out this surrounding the opening scene of La La Land and this about all of the nominees.

So who are you hoping to see win this year? I think Emma Stone is a lock for Best Actress and I'm hoping to see Lin Manuel Miranda win for How Far I'll Go in Moana and get an EGOT.(EmmyGrammyOscarTony).  Happy Oscars!
