It’s award season!
The Academy Awards are one of the largest, star-studded, award shows each year, but this year is a special celebration, as it’s the 90th anniversary of the Academy Awards. Now that the nominees have been announced, it’s time to start prepping your red carpet-worthy cocktails to savor during the broadcast on March 4th.
The Academy Awards is celebrating its own way by offering 90 Stories from 90 Years of Oscars, featuring iconic pictures and stories over the last 9 decades of film. They’re showcasing everything from Audrey Hepburn and Gracy Kelly presenting in 1956 to Jack Black and Will Ferrell’s singing duet in 2003.
We congratulate this year’s nominees. To get your watch party cocktail menu started, check out these beauties paired with this year’s Best Picture nominees.
