Oscar Party Videos

For years, we threw an annual Oscar bash that became a red carpet tradition among friends—complete with themed food, a fancy brochure, prizes for the most correct guesses of Oscar winners, and homemade video invites. We began making the videos in 2013, inspired by the silent film The Artist, and kept the tradition alive right up until the pandemic. One legendary party even caught the attention of The Bergen Record, which featured photos and a video by Pulitzer Prize-winner Thomas E. Franklin. He captured us in our glory, proudly presenting a tray of “Life of Pot Pies”—a savory spoof on Life of Pi—recipe and all.
