Anyone can invite over some friends, bake some cookies, turn on the TV and call it an Oscars party. But if you're gonna do it—you might as well do it right. Throw a party they'll be talking about from now until next year's awards.
By honouring each of this year's Best Picture nominations with a pizza pie you'll bowl over your party guests. The wonderful thing with pizza is you can make it as simple or complex as you'd like. Order the whole thing from a delivery joint, or make it from scratch at home—the choice is yours.
Print up some mini movie posters with a brief description to go alongside your pies.
