I intend to cavort on the red carpet on this place if anyone else does while the frocks, shoes, accessories, men are paraded. I probably won't be up for the ceremony itself for long. 

 

If I don't, please record your thoughts and pix (I know erin will enjoy the task!). 

 

For the record, I shall mostly be wearing nightwear. I chose this in honour of velvet donkey who is badly missed in these parts.

I've a very similar red tartan nightdress Baz, only the collar is different, like a grandad shirt 

 

Velvet is a big loss to the forum, and I really hope he returns. He's on DS isn't he? Though I can't remember the name he uses  Think it begins with a v or w and sounds eastern european.

I shall wear a silk negligee with matching gown, a pair of chi-chi fluffy mules, whilst reclining on a chaise longue awaiting the return of the velvety one.  If he's not sporting a red handkerchief and a natty pair of braces then I'm calling the fanfare off 

 

 

 â€œHappy” from Despicable Me 2; Pharrell Williams - for the win

Off the top of my head I would be surprised if Gravity, Captain Phillips and 12 Years a Slave did not pick up a clutch of Oscars.

I think thats a given Enthusiasables. 

 

I think Dallas Buyers Club and Wolf of Wall Street will figure hugely though, it being the US awards ceremony. 

Xochi

I'm probably going to regret this, but:

Best Picture: 12 Years a Slave;
Best Director: Alfonso Cuaron (Gravity);
Best Actor: Matthew McConaughey;
Best Actress: Cate Blanchett

 

After that it becomes trickier, but here goes:
Best Supporting Actor: Jared Letto (with Barkhad Abdi as an outside bet);
Best Supporting Actress: Possibly the most open of the lot - I'd personally like it to be Sally Hawkins, but I think it will be Jennifer Lawrence, with Lupita Nyong'o as an outside bet;
Best Foreign Picture: The Great Beauty, although changes in the voting system might benefit the Belgian film, The Broken Circle Breakdown;
Best Animated Picture: Frozen


Beyond that, I'd expect Gravity to win a slew of technical awards, and I haven't a clue how the two screenplay awards wil go...

Drinks tonight are

Drinkers

The Moet Starlet

4 mint leaves
          3/4 ounce good-quality silver tequila
          1/2 ounce elderflower liqueur
          1/2 ounce simple syrup
          1/2 ounce lime juice
          3 ounces MoÃŦt & Chandon
          1 slice starfruit         

In a cocktail shaker combine simple  syrup, lime juice, and mint leaves. Use a muddler or a wooden spoon to  muddle the mint leaves. Add tequila and elderflower liqueur and fill  shaker with ice. Shake vigorously for 20 seconds. Strain into a  glass and top with Moet. Garnish with starfruit

 

Non drinkers

Non-Alcoholic Beverages

Serve sparkling apple, pomegranate, or blueberry juice – for a bubbly toast at any party!

          Mix cranberry juice with lime soda and add a twist of lime for an elegant beverage

 

 

Nibbles

Devilled Egs with Caviar         

  1. Place  eggs in a stockpot and cover with water.  
  2. Add vinegar and bring to a boil  over high heat.  Turn off the heat and cover.  Let sit for 15 to 18  minutes.  
  3. Drain water.  When cool enough to touch, remove shells.
  4. Slice  each egg in half, lengthwise.  Remove yolks and place in a food processor.   Add mayo, mustard, lemon juice, and salt to the yolks.  Blend until  smooth.
  5. Scoop the yolk mixture into a plastic baggy.  Use scissors  to snip off the end of the baggy.  Use the baggy like a pastry bag to pipe  the yolk mixture into the egg whites. Spoon a small amount of caviar on each  egg.

*Variation:  Instead of caviar, garnish each egg with a small piece of smoked salmon and  sprinkle with chives.
