Hmmm. Slim pickings this year for theme food for my Oscars party...

You could always make "tinfoil Black Swans" for take-out leftovers too when it's over!!!

Look at the best pic entrants:

“Black Swan”: tic-tacs and water
“The Fighter”: um, bar chow? sheet cake?
“Inception”: who the heck knows? I walked out, I was so bored and frustrated
“The Kids Are All Right”: haven't seen it yet; thoughts?
“The King's Speech”: British food. Um...dark beer, yeah!
“127 Hours”: Power Bars. But you have to unwrap and eat them with one arm
“The Social Network”: eat? they don't eat.
“Toy Story 3”: they don't eat, either
“True Grit”: burned-on-the-outside, with ashes, raw-on-the-inside biscuits
“Winter's Bone": ????? haven't seen it, might not be able to

Thoughts? I'll probably just toss the theme idea and go for yummy.

I don't know about food, but I could think of a lot of hats (either to wear or as decoration) that would go with these movies.

Black Swan - tiara or feathers
King's Speech - crown
Fighter or 127 Hours - sweat band
Toy Story, True Grit - cowboy hat
The Social Network - anything with a Facebook logo
The Kids are All Right - something pink or rainbow

I don't know what Winter's Bone is about!

The UPcakes were too cute .

I don't know if you'll be able to see this link or not, but here is a photo of them:

I'm starting to go conceptual. First concept: black and white, for "Black Swan": marble tunnel of fudge bundt cake.

Maybe dreamsicle pie for the dreams in "Inception."

Mini-meat pies for a nod to Britishism. Fish is too fragrant. Mini-sausage bangers and mash appetizers? Or I could distribute marbles and make people put them in their mouth and talk. But then someone would swallow one and I'd have to take them to the ED and miss the show. Perhaps not.

Fancy trail mix for "127 hours"...

The also eat steak in The Kids Are All Right, so maybe you could go in that direction.
