You've religiously gone to the movie theater every weekend for the past few months, eaten one too many bags of popcorn, and now the big night is here, Oscars night! It's practically a holiday - you anxiously await its arrival, you prepare and then you celebrate! This year, play some Academy Award themed party games with all your friends as you critique and applaud your favorite actors and actresses!

The real key to any fabulous Oscar Night Party is to have a great mix of people mingling,enjoying delicious finger foods and sipping on Oscar theme party cocktails. Don't forget the Oscar night party activities either! We have plenty of tips below for fun karaoke and trivia games, but a good old Oscar Pool is always a hit.

Hosting an Oscar Night Party Pool:

1. Doing a pool is easy! Just go online to www.oscar.com and print up lists of all the categories and nominees.

2. While you and your friends are watching the red carpet interviews, everyone has to check off who they think will win in each category.

3. Then, each guest puts a small amount of money into the pool (we suggest $5), and whoever has the most correct predictions wins the money.
