Are you planning an Oscar watch party this year? If so, we have a fun gold Oscar party idea to check out. We’re showing you easy ways and quick decor hacks on pulling off a fun award-watching party. And thanks to our friends at G.H. Cretors® for sponsoring this post and bringing the popped corn. 

Gold Oscar Party Idea

Gold Oscar Party Idea | Easy Ways To Pull Of an Oscar Award Watching Party

The 2022 Academy Award Show, also known as the Oscars, will happen on March 27th, 2022. We love to entertain, but sometimes trying to pull off a party and the food, decorating, and entertainment for our guests can be a lot of work. 

There are a few tips and tricks you can do to pull off a fabulous party. 

How to plan an Oscar Party

First, keep your decorating simple. One of the decorating hacks that save me every time is buying decorations. Instead of spending several hours creating my decorations, I stopped at some of my favorite stores and craft stores to purchase pre-packaged decor items. 

Oscar Party Ideas

  • I picked up movie/cinema signs from a craft store. I was excited to find a few in gold and black, the theme colors for my party. 
  • Another time-saving tip- when you don’t have time to shop in stores, you can find many great party decor items online. I was able to order the Oscar statues and the cupcake holder online. 
  • As much as we love to cook, sometimes buying a few platters of cheese, chicken wings, and veggie sticks is okay (we’re sharing a few simple recipes below). I also like to skip making cupcakes and pick up store-bought ones. 

Creative ways to style your popcorn. 

One fun food item at many Oscar watch parties is popcorn. Most of us like to watch popcorn when watching a movie, so it’s only fitting to serve it at your award watch party.

However, instead of serving popcorn in a plain-Jane bowl, you can jazz it up; here are a few ways! 

Creative ways to serve popcorn

I am in love with G.H.Cretors® Popped Corn, the Caramel variety. I added a few pieces of popped corn to the top of my cupcakes. Don’t knock this until you try it. It’s good! Another good mix to try is our popcorn s’mores brownie dessert. 

Creative pop corn recipes

There are so many ways you can incorporate popcorn into your party.

For this idea, we used G.H.Cretors® Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil popped corn, an olive, parmesan cheese, and a piece of bacon, placed on a bakeable spoon. Bake it in the oven at 350 for 15 minutes. 

Creative ways to serve popcorn

Grab some fancy paper gift bags and stick popcorn in them. Not only is this a decorative way to style your party table, but guests can pick up a bag (or two) and take it with them to their seats. Plus, you don’t have to dirty up bowls or cups for popcorn; it’s all in the bag!

Creative ways to serve popcorn

I used small gold paperclips and labels to write the variety of G.H.Cretors® Popped Corn on each bag. It’s simple yet adds a fancy appeal to this Oscar party idea.

Another way we displayed our popcorn for this gold party idea is in Champagne glass s. It adds a layer of funk and jazz to this watch party and allows for a creative way for you to enjoy.

I also added black and gold bowties (picked up at a local party decor store) and tied them to each glass. This brings a “pop” to our popped corn! 

Creative ways to serve popcorn

We like to give our guests a little treat, so making popcorn bags to go was an obvious choice. I picked up gold-designed plastic bags from a craft store and filled each bag with a different mix.

We’re all into serving a variety of popcorn at our parties, and thankfully G.H. Cretors® creates several varieties. 

Creative ways to serve popcorn

My favorite is the Caramel, and The Mix satisfies the need for Caramel, plus combining it with real cheddar and cheese corn. Another great variety to try is Cheese Lovers Mix.

The Cheese Lover’s Mix is a delicious combination of four perfectly blended kinds of cheese. Enjoy the taste of bold, sharp yellow cheddar cheese and a mixture of Romano, parmesan, and white cheddar cheeses.

G.H.Cretors Popped Corn

Dating back to 1885, G.H.Cretors® has been around for a long time. They have gone through five generations, but one thing has remained the same.

Create obsessively delicious popcorn by only using real, simple, high-quality ingredients. 

And the Oscar goes to...

With all the great blends, homemade popped corn, and quality ingredients, it’s no wonder the party’s life starts when you hear the pop of a G.H.Cretors® bag being opened up!

The second to last thing we did to pull off a great Oscar Party is- to get your guests involved. While the award show is the main event, have your guests get involved using our FREE 2021 Oscar Ballot printable.
