2016’s award season is finally here, and now with the Golden Globes over, the real event is coming up… the Oscars. The Oscar nominations were released on January 14th and will air on February 28th. So start getting your snacks together so you don’t have to get up while Chris Rock is hosting or while Leo is accepting his award (fingers crossed).

Personally, I’m hoping this award goes to “Room,” so like Jacob Tremblay and Brie Larson eat in the movie, you should enjoy some birthday cake for this award. If you’re feeling adventurous, try this rainbow cake.
2. Best Actor in a Leading Role – Champagne

Now we all are hoping that this award goes to Leo, but who knows what could happen. So channel your inner Gatsby, sit back and have yourself a glass of champagne, or turn your champagne into Jell-O shots with this recipe.

This is really a toss up, will it go to Brie Larson or Saoires Ronan? Seriously, it even could go to Alicia Vilkander. Well, I really hope that Saoires wins, so enjoy some spaghetti because she struggled so hard to learn how to eat it. Or if you’re cutting carbs, try this spaghetti squash recipe.
4. Best Actor in a Supporting Role – Water

Christian Bale, “The Big Short”
Tom Hardy, “The Revenant”
Mark Ruffalo, “Spotlight”
Mark Rylance, “Bridge of Spies”
Sylvester Stallone, “Creed”

Christian Bale played the eccentric Michael Burry and had to do strange actions like avoid eye contact, stutter strangely, and he even made one of his eyes lazy for the role because the real Michael Burry has a glass eye. So for this film, chill out and have some water for Michael Burry’s next investment.
5. Best Actress in a Supporting Role – Pizza

Jennifer Jason Leigh, “The Hateful Eight”
Rooney Mara, “Carol”
Rachel McAdams, “Spotlight”
Alicia Vikander, “The Danish Girl”
Kate Winslet, “Steve Jobs“

Let’s be real here, Rachel McAdams has been mine and everyone else’s favorite since Mean Girls came out so we’re all pulling for her. For this film, you should eat some pizza because Mark Ruffalo is also nominated and his character was willing to eat a half eaten pizza for dinner. If you’re wondering how you should be eating pizza, check out this article.
6. Best Director – French Fries

Alejandro G. Inarritu, “The Revenant”
Lenny Abrahamson, “Room”

For this category you should have some french fries to celebrate “The Martian” because even though Ridley Scott wasn’t nominated, he was nominated for the Golden Globes. In “The Martian,” Matt Damon grows potatoes on a planet that it is incapable to grow anything on.
7. Best Writing (Original) – Childhood Snacks

“Straight Outta Compton”
“Inside Out”

Since Inside Out was nominated, you should eat some childhood snacks to go along with this category.
8. Best Writing (Adapted Material) – Popcorn

Obviously you need some popcorn while watching the Oscars, but that’s not the only reason this food fits the category. I’m still upset that Aaron Sorkin wasn’t nominated for “Steve Jobs.” And since Steve Jobs had such peculiar eating habits including fruit and popcorn, you should eat some popcorn in tribute. We also suggest upgrading your popcorn like this.
9. Makeup and Hairstyling – Vegetables

“Mad Max: Fury Road” had an insane makeup and hairstyling requirement, half the people in the film had their whole bodies painted the entire time… It was crazy. With that aside, there wasn’t much eating during this film, but the lack of crops was a big deal so you eat some vegetables for this category. If you want to eat your vegetables and satisfy your sweet tooth at the same time, check out these recipes.
12. Best Costume Design – French Food

Thank god Eddie Redmayne is back again this year and not to mention, the costumes in the film were fabulous. Make sure to have some French food with this movie because they move to Paris at one point, but don’t spill any on your clothing.
11. Best Original Song – Martini (Shaken not Stirred)

“Earned It” – Fifty Shades of Grey

“Simple Song No. 3” – Youth
“Till It Happens to You” – Racing Extinction
“Writing’s on the Wall” – Spectre

James Bond was back again this year, so to celebrate make sure you have a Martini… Shaken, not stirred. If you want to make vodka suck less, try one of these cocktails.
12. Best Original Score – Star Wars-Themed Food

Stars Wars has officially returned to the big screen and to celebrate, they have every different type of merchandise, including themed food. Or, you can make your own Star Wars snacks. Make sure to enjoy your Star Wars-themed food and may the force be with you while you enjoy this category.
Now that you got most of your food ready for each of the nominations, make sure to watch on February 28th.
