ACADEMY AWARD - OSCAR MARTINIS - Oscar Fans Martini

Download the full sized recipe card in print quality here.

Sunday is the telecast of the 83rd Annual Academy Awards and if you're like me you love to invite a few friends over to watch the show, diss the fashions and enjoy all the Hollywood hoopla that goes on.

I always serve up my Academy Award - Oscar Martinis and some fun snacks to get us through the hours of speeches, clips and - hopefully - funny jokes from the host(s).



I'm not too sure whether I'm excited about the hosts this year.  I still love Billy Crystal's hosting the year Jack Palance did a one armed push up on stage the best and I'm fond of comics as hosts because they usually bring some great laughs to what can otherwise be a pretty dull show.  Because the show is so controlled these days we never get great moments like this one:

The Famous Oscar Streaker and David Niven's Classic Retort



Is it too much too hope that maybe the producers might loose a little control this year and we might get to enjoy a classic bit of Oscar history like that again?
