17 Oscar Party Recipes Based On Your Favorite 2019 Academy Awards Nominees

This summery drink from A Spicy Perspective made up of rosé, bourbon, grapefruit juice, Chambord, honey, watermelon, strawberries, and raspberries will bring you back to when Ally and Jackson first fell in love. May you always remember them that way.

Cheers to Spike Lee's first Best Director nomination ever for BlacKkKlansman with this honey whiskey-spiked lemonade from The Little Epicurean. Plus, you may need a strong drink to get through the horrific real-life racism and antisemitism from the 1970s and today highlighted in the film.

Eating pineapples was a relatively new phenomenon in Queen Anne's court in 18th century England, as TIME noted. And while you're familiar with the fruit — and probably don't have a maid who is delivering you one like Emma Stone's Abigail — you can wow your guests (even vegan and gluten-free ones) thanks to these chipotle cauliflower nachos and pineapple salsa from Love & Lemons. Otherwise, you may have to resort to racing ducks or lobsters and then eating them — which frankly, sounds too inhumane and too expensive.

Don't be the person who steals the shrimp cocktail from the party, be the person who has shrimp cocktail at the party with this recipe from Averie Cooks. Just look out for any guests impersonating Melissa McCarthy's Best Actress-nominated performance by engaging in the unforgivable offense of stealing some shrimp to take home to their cat.

Viggo Mortensen's Tony Lip Vallelonga has a knack for eating as he drives Mahershala Ali's Dr. Don Shirley. While you could make some southern cuisine, this pizza roll recipe from Deliciously Yum will have you channeling Tony Lip when he folds an entire pizza in half and eats it.

The name of Chadwick Boseman's T'Challa is just too close to sounding like the Jewish braided bread to be ignored. This challah bruschetta with lemon ricotta and honey from Tori Avey can act as an homage to the king of Wakanda.

The Pixar Animated Short Film nominee Bao may have you feeling guilty about indulging in this Chinese dish, but this vegetarian take on bao from A Cozy Kitchen is guaranteed not to turn into a real boy.

Not only do these naan wraps with cucumber raita from The Kitchn let you make a Queen-themed pun, but they honor Freddie Mercury's Indian roots. (You can spot Freddie's Parsi mother serving naan at the beginning of the film.)

Fried chicken really had a moment at the movies in 2018 from Richard E. Grant and McCarthy eating some in Can You Ever Forgive Me? to the rather controversial scenes in Green Book. But Supporting Actor nominee Sam Rockwell's George W. Bush chowing down on a chicken leg while asking Christian Bale's Dick Cheney to be his VP was quite the meme-able moment. Ignore whether or not Rockwell is technically eating chicken wings since this fried chicken recipe from the Kitchn will help you make one of the most talked about foods of the 2018 movie season.

Ally and Jackson enjoy some brussels sprouts during a wholesome family meal at Dave Chappelle's character's house. These veggies lead to Jackson asking Ally a major question, so celebrate that moment with sweet and spicy brussels sprouts from How Sweet Eats.

One of the most fascinating scenes of Wes Anderson's Animated Feature Film nominee is when a chef makes sushi. While it sounds as ambitious as a bunch of dogs escaping a trash island, this avocado and mango brown rice sushi recipe from Love & Lemons is vegetarian-friendly and doesn't have you deboning a fish.

In Roma, Cleo and Adela go to the real-life Mexico City restaurant La Casa del Pavo before the movies and enjoy some tortas and Coke. While they were probably eating the establishment's signature turkey tortas, these carnitas tortas from A Spicy Perspective will still do the trick.

When Queen and Adam Lambert take the stage at the Oscars, you can celebrate their musical stylings with these individual chicken pot pies from Simply Scratch.

The purple heart-shaped herb in Black Panther gives the titular leader of Wakanda his powers. While the raspberry buttercream in these heart-shaped brownies from A Farm Girl's Dabbles is more pink than purple, they'll still leave you feeling powerful. And if you want to head to the Ancestral Plane, well — depending on where you live — you could always add your own special herb to these brownies.

You'll likely be stuck with the Original Song nominee "Shallow" in your head until the end of the awards ceremony, so you might as well have some cookies and creme marshmallow bars by Cookies & Cups for dessert.

After six previous nominations, Glenn Close may win an Oscar statuette for her role as Joan in The Wife. Walnuts and sweets are particular favorites of the husband in The Wife (Jonathan Pryce's Joe Castleman) with one of his novels even named The Walnut. And this vegan, gluten-free, soy-free walnut fudge from Oh She Glows could be worthy of its own Nobel Prize.

This watercolor layer cake from Baked by Rachel will have you channeling Olivia Colman's Queen Anne when she ate blue cake until she vomited in The Favourite. The food stylist for the Yorgos Lanthimos film, Katharine Tidy, noted to Vice that she made the infamous cake blue so it would be more extravagant.

No matter what you choose to make, live it up like the queen (whether that be the Queen of England or Mercury's band) on Oscars night with these recipes.
