A Movie Themed Food Guide for Oscar Parties

If you’re planning on hosting an Oscars watch party, you’ll want to make sure your menu is worthy of an A-list event. With the 95th Academy Awards just around the corner, it’s time to start thinking about what movie themed food and drinks you’ll be serving. To help you get started, online personality and food creator Barbara "Babs" Costello has shared some of her favorite recipes with "Good Morning America."

Snacks

Mini Stuffed Potatoes

These mini stuffed potatoes are easy to prepare and perfect for snacking on while the Oscars are playing.

• 1 bag new potatoes
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• Sprinkle sea salt
• 2 1/2 ounces sour cream
• Small bunch chives, snipped

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Prick the potatoes with a fork, rub with the oil, then toss with sea salt. Arrange potatoes on a baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes or until fork tender. Let the potatoes cool for 10-15 minutes, then cut a small cross in the top of each and pinch the bases to open a little. Add a teaspoon of sour cream to each, a little freshly ground black pepper and a sprinkling of chives.

Air Fryer Pickles

Air fryer pickles are a great snack for those who love a bit of crunch!

• 2 cups dill pickle slices (I like Wickles Dirty Dill Pickle Slices)
• 1 egg whisked with 1 tbsp water
• 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
• 1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1 tsp garlic powder

In a medium bowl, combine panko, parmesan cheese, oregano, and garlic powder. In a small bowl whisk together egg and water. Dredge each pickle in the egg mixture and then dry the mixture. Set the pickles aside to dry. Before frying, lightly spray each pickle with nonstick cooking spray on both sides. Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees. Cook pickles for 4 minutes per side until golden brown. Serve with ranch for dipping.

Drinks

Blue Sports Drink Milkshake

This blue sports drink milkshake is not only delicious but also fitting for any Oscars watch party with its movie themed food.

• 2 cups ice
• 2 cups blue sports drink
• 2 scoops vanilla ice cream

In a blender, combine ice, the sports drink, and ice cream. Blend until smooth. Pour into glasses and serve.

With these recipes in hand, your Oscars watch party is sure to be a hit. Enjoy the awards show and the delicious treats that go with it!
