Everyone loves the Oscars, so why not throw an Oscar Party? You and your friends can gather round to have an Academy Award Watching Party. Actually, you can do this party with any award show, from the Tonys, to the Golden Globes, to the MTV Awards and everything in between!

Here are some adult party ideas for a Hollywood Award watching party...





Tips and Adult Party Game Ideas for a great Oscar Party


  • Make sure you that the number of guests you invite is no larger than what your "viewing" room can handle.

  • Before the awards begin, let everyone make out their own ballot as to who they think will win. At the end of the night, award a prize - such as an Oscar Statuette for the best predictions. Have a ballot for the guests to record their choice for special awards - the "Best and the Worst" - best dress, best hair, best speech...worst dress, worst hair, worst speech...you get the idea! At the end of the night, award prizes for the guests for funniest comments!
    • For commercial breaks, or before (or after) the Oscars, play some games...Such as cutting out celebrity smiles from magazines. Place on a poster, hang it up, and let everyone to try figure out which smile goes to which celebrity.
    • Another fun game is to play a sort of Whose Line is it Anyway. Divide guests into teams, give them random props and a situation or theme, and have them create a skit as they act it out until you ring a bell.
    • Search online for printable games that you simply purchase and then print as many copies as you need at home! Very inexpensive, you can't go wrong. Read My Review of PrintGamesNow.


    Creating the Mood at your Oscar Watching Party

    A big part of every theme party is going to be the decorations. Here are some fun ideas from the Hollywood Party page on this site:

  • Use lots of Gold Stars in your decorations
  • Hollywood Scene Setters are a great way to transform your party space fast!
  • Use Movie Popcorn Buckets to hold chips, dips, etc.
  • Have a Red Carpet Runner for your guests to walk on as they enter. If you can't have anything else, this is a big one!
  • Hollywood Clapboards can be used in lots of ways.
  • Hollywood Cutouts are inexpensive and easily add some theme elements to your party room.
  • Hang up Movie Posters (check your local theater - they may give you some for free!)
  • Use Film Reel Decorations on your table and all around the room.
  • Another great decoration - Hollywood Sidewalk Stars
  • Make sign that says "VIP ENTRANCE" on the front door.
  • Pick a bold color scheme, such as red, black, gold and silver. Use these for balloons and streamers, and even the stars!
  • Make a big Hollywood sign.
  • Hang a curtain of Gold Foil Tinsel Fringe at a doorway for your friends to walk thru when they arrive. Cool!
  • There are lots of Hollywood Photo Backdrops that you can buy pretty cheaply, or make your own. But you will for sure want something for all the photos to be shared from your party!
