Free Printable Oscar Party Game: Acceptance Speech Fill-in-the-Blank

Free Printable Movie Awards Acceptance Speech Game by B.Nute productions
It's Oscar awards time again and you know what that means... listening to unbearably long acceptance speeches where inevitably the orchestra music starts to play and the deserving actor, actress or film contributor is kicked off the stage! Well, here's a great free printable game to fill that time and get your crowd laughing. Enough with the emotions, have each guest at your Oscar Party or Movie Party use these fill-in-the-blank/Mad Lib style acceptance speeches to create their own speech. Here's how to play.

Before the show begins (or at the beginning of your party) sit each person down and ask them the word (or words) as noted on the printable sheet. Do not let them read the speech, just ask them for the word,

Last Minute Oscar Party Ideas

and the Oscar goes to... Treasury on Etsy
Sunday night is the big night! If you aren't heading to a party, why not have one yourself. I know, it's last minute to be planning an Oscar Party-- but that's no problem! Below are a whole bunch of great links to Oscar Party madness for a simple, yet award winning affair!

Oscar Menu
I love creating an Oscar menu to match the Best Films. This year, there's seemingly a large number of nominated films, 10 to be exact... and since unfortunately haven't seen over 1/2 the films, this task of creating a menu seemed quite daunting. Thank goodness for the internet! I did a quick search and found a great article full of menu ideas on Epicurious.com: Best Picture Inspired Menu Ideas. I love their descriptions. For True Grit, they provide a "Feast Fit for Cowboys." For 127 Hours, "Food as Fuel", and Toy Story 3, "A Day-Care Finger Food Menu for Kids of All Ages". Very fun.

Enjoy the show!

If I Were Going to the Oscars...


Tonight's the night... time to put on the ritz, and head down the red carpet... the Academy Awards are about to begin! Wouldn't it be fun to go? There would be no sleeping in, though... it would be up and out early, hair, makeup, massage-- to get ready for the big event. Here's the look I may go for this year...

Dress & Makeup
Love this dress by lelarose. The "crepe paper" material, the soft pink, the flowers. Ooo, how simple, yet elegant, old fashion, yet off the shoulder sexy. Nice! And, the makeup too! I do like the softness of her makeup-- not too heavy, but definitely there to dress this look up!

The Hair
Love the curls, and the hair piece. I may look for something a little more vintage-inspired in my hair, but these are the curls I'd go for this year! (This headpiece is by Sara Gabriel.)

The Jewels
Perhaps this vintage style jewel could be made into my hair piece? It has the softness of the pearl, and the sparkle of the crystal-- could be real diamonds too, I'm not picky!

Speaking of diamonds, I could use an accessory or 2 of sparkle-- a nice ring, a lovely bracelet, and delicate yet sparkly necklace... that would be just delightful!

Well, hope you are getting all dolled up for the show tonight!
... and the winner is....

Hommage to Oscar!

Well, tonight's the night... it's Oscar time. Right about now, I'm sure the stars are primping and priming for the event. I love the Oscars. I don't know why, given at this point in my life, I'm not seeing any movies in a theatre... except if they are rated G, but I still love the hollywood glam!

I used to throw an Oscar party every year, but since kids, I've taken a slight break in the big production! My sister, though, has now taken on the role in earnest, and I love to hear what she's planning!
My sister has not only thrown blow-out Oscar parties including big screens and formal attire, she has also been to the Oscars-- not the actual event, but the after parties (which in my book is better than the Oscars themselves.) She went the year of the Lord of the Rings phenomenon... Unfortunate for her, she's not a big Tolken fan... but she did meet Frodo's co-horts - one who I think is a big star on the TV show LOST.

One of the best traditions that she and I started for our Oscar parties was the menu planning... We based our dishes around the Best Picture nominees. It's so fun coming up with something that is in theme with the movie!
Here's her menu for this year--
Slumdog Curry
Benjamin Button Sized N'Orleans Crab Cakes

The Reader Brat Bites Served on Saurkraut
Beer in Frosty Nixon Glasses
and
MILK with Brownies

If you're off to an Oscar gala, have fun, or if you're at home, enjoy some movie popcorn and hot dogs... sometimes simple is great too!

See ya in the movies!

BTW-- in many of the pics above is my latest and greatest Oscar party banner! I'm thinking of doing a Hollywood style party-- a little glam, some hollywood regency. Have you ever thrown a Hollywood party? Love to hear your ideas...
