It’s award season and that means it’s time to sit in front of the TV and cheer on your favorite actors and movies as they snag awards left and right. Now, no award show would be complete without a bowl of popcorn and a great cocktail to wash down that salty buttery snack, we call it the “Hollywood Glam.” That’s why we think this cocktail would be perfect to drink while watching the Oscars.

 

Tune into the 90th Annual Oscars on March 4th with Jimmy Kimmel as the host.

 

This year’s nominations for “Best Picture:”

 

“Call Me by Your Name” directed by Luca Guadagnino, staring Armie Hammer and Timothée Chalamet.

 

“Darkest Hour”directed by Joe Wright, starring Gary Oldman and Lily James.

 

“Dunkirk” directed by Christopher Nolan, starring Harry Styles and Tom Hardy.

 

“Get Out” directed by Jordan Peele, starring Daniel Kaluuya and Allison Williams.

 

“Lady Bird” directed Greta Gerwig, starring Saoirse Ronan and Lucas Hedge.

 

“Phantom Thread” directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, starring Daniel-Day Lewis and Vicky Krieps.

 

“The Post”directed by Steven Spielberg, starring Meryl Streep and Tom Hanks.

 

“The Shape of Water” directed by Guillermo del Toro, starring Sally Hawkins and Doug Jones.

 

“Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri” directed by Martin McDonagh, starring Frances McDormand and Sam Rockwell.

 

Don’t worry we didn’t forget about the cocktail. Here’s the recipe and have a happy Oscar watching.
