Getting Ready for OSCAR

The fact that there are TEN Best Picture nominations this year can only mean one thing–it's going to be a LOOONG night! Even with the younger hosting duo, James Franco and Ann Hathaway, you're going to need some fun ideas to get you through the evening. There is definitely no shortage of ideas available. Take a look!

FREE DOWNLOADABLE BINGO GAMES:

How About Orange updated their 2010 bingo game providing 12 different cards you can use to play during this year's ceremony (shown above).

Thrillist has a great and funny Bingo card based on random generated happenings, like "An actress hates on Natalie Portman for maintaining her figure during pregnancy." You can print and randomize different versions of their Oscar Bingo card here.

FREE DOWNLOADABLE BALLOTS:

If you're a real movie buff, make your predictions on one of these free downloadable ballots from Twig & Thistle (shown above) or the one from the official Oscar site.

FREE DOWNLOADABLE PARTY DECOR:

The fabulous Hostess with the Mostess has a very generous collection of Oscar themed printables you can download for free. The collection includes the glam glass charms you see above, popcorn bag labels, place cards and napkin wraps.

AWARD-WORTHY PARTY IDEAS:

The Food Network has a slideshow of decorating ideas, like this one, that makes your table napkin look like an Oscar envelope! Then take a look at the rest of their site for some winning recipe ideas, too.

If you're really looking to add some star-studded dazzle to your home to celebrate the awards, here are some fabulous ideas to look at. Plus, don't forget the ideas I posted for the Golden Globes--you can certainly add them to your Oscar party.

Everyday Celebrating put together some ideas that includes one using an old Ken doll to make your own Oscar. Brilliant!
