CELEBRITY MASKS
Bring a touch of Hollywood into your living room with our celebrity Oscar masks.
Oscar night is about all things beautiful so print and cut out our handy masks, featuring the world's most desirable stars.
How about George Clooney - who is up for three Oscars on Sunday night? Or how do you fancy being Keira Knightley for a night? The British actress is nominated in the best actress category for her role in Pride and Prejudice.
Also included are Oscar nominees Reese Witherspoon (Walk the Line) and Heath Ledger (Brokeback Mountain).
COCKTAILS
After the Oscar ceremony the stars head straight for the Governors' Ball, where they sip drinks made by the world's most accomplished cocktail barmen.
Spoil yourself on Oscar night with one of our specially-designed cocktails.
We've left out the alcohol so you can keep a clear head.
OSCAR BINGO
The Oscar ceremony may be a night of a thousand stars but even the brightest of constellations dim over time. So enliven your night of Oscar watching with our bingo game.
Cut out and divide the 20 bingo cards between your guests and cross off your boxes when the event on the card happens during Oscar night.
When all your cards have been eliminated the winner must shout out "Oscar" and stand up to deliver his or her acceptance speech.
CRIBSHEET
The blockbusters have been left off the Oscar nominations this year so do not feel too embarrassed if you have not seen as many of the Oscar contenders as you would like.
We have prepared a simple at-a-glance guide to the five best picture nominees so you can talk knowledgeably on the night about each film.
What is it about? Who are the stars? What did the critics think?
Have the answers to all these questions at your fingertips.
