Oscar Night Party With The Neighbors

We have been invited to an Oscar party and we need to bring dessert. I am a huge fan of the Oscars and so is my eldest son. And my youngest son is a huge fan of cupcakes, so we blended our passions and made Oscar-best-picture-nominee-themed cupcakes to celebrate the evening.

And the nominees are…
