Oscar Buzz

I feel like the Golden Globes were just yesterday and Jared Leto's bun made its way on stage to accept a win for Best Supporting Actor.

This morning the Oscar nominations were announced and I have a lot of work to do. I hear many good things about the Best Picture nominees and can only say that I've seen one so far... "Her", which was great.Who do you think will take home the Oscar?

I love the Oscars and try to throw Oscar parties every year. Themed parties are awesome and clearly a passion of mine. One of the fun things about these parties is the competition of which guest will win the Oscar for most correct winners. Last year, it was a tie between a coworker and myself but I let her take home the Oscar, as any honest host would. Another favorite of mine is the food pairings to each of the Best Picture nominees. Can't wait to watch these films and get to cookin!

Here's a throwback Thursday look to the 2013 Oscars:
