2017 Academy Award Nominations

I just want to thank everyone I’ve ever met in my entire life. – Kim Basinger

It’s one of our favorite nights of the year… the Academy Awards!  We love to entertain at home and there is nothing finer than throwing an Oscar viewing party for friends and loved ones.  For us, dressing up (or down and refusing to wear high heels), sipping champagne cocktails, munching on fun themed appetizers and playing Oscar Bingo is a highlight we look forward to each year.  And, of course, we binge watch as many of the nominated movies as we can in anticipation of the big night.

For this year’s Oscars, we couldn’t help but continue our tradition of offering you our Best Barware selections for Best Picture.  We hope you have as much fun seeing our selections as we had picking them out for you!
