You can use cardboard to create the base of your branded figurine. Of course, the base should also be coated with the same golden paint.
At the entrance to the restaurant, you can also arrange big figure "Oscar"... To do this, it is enough to find a mannequin in human height and paint it.You can decorate the hall with balloons, streamers and various garlands.

One of the most important attributes is the pictures of celebrities that can be hung on the wall.
It can also be frames from the most famous films, against which fans will be photographed.
Of course, in such a room there must be a stage, therefore, the restaurant must first be divided into 2 parts. The stage should be protected with an arch decorated with balls and garlands. For maximum originality and realism, you can set up a screen on stage to broadcast the previous editions of the Oscars.
Special attention should be paid to the design of the light on the stage. When organizing a seating area, you can use various sofas and small tables.

If you want to do something original, you can arrange postcards in the form of movie tickets, small posters or film strips. Modern technologies also make it possible to create a video invitation and send it to guests' e-mails. The invitation indicates the date and time of the beginning of the event, as well as the place where it will take place.

One of the most important conditions for a party like this is choosing the right outfit. Considering the importance and pomp of the event, evening dresses will be the ideal solution. In addition, men's and women's clothing must be fashionable and stylish. In the process of creating an image for a lady, you can use certain elements.
- Long evening dress. There are no restrictions on the color scheme, each girl can choose the most optimal option for herself. The most important thing is that the dress looks very stylish. You can add rhinestones or beads. The presence of a deep neckline will also be appropriate, because it is these outfits that most stars prefer.

- Shoes must be chosen very carefully. Only high-heeled options are suitable, which are considered an important attribute when creating an Oscar look.
- As an optional element, you can choose a hat or a regular hairpin.
It will be quite easy for men to choose the best outfit for themselves. The perfect solution would be a tuxedo, which will look great in combination with a white shirt.
If there is no tuxedo, then you can limit yourself to a regular suit and tie.
Festive table menu
A distinctive feature of the world of cinema is that it is not customary to hold any noisy feasts. The stars constantly care about their figure, so they don't want to eat too much. Moreover, such events do not focus on food at all, as people are just going to chat and have fun.
Usually, treats are organized in the format when the waiter walks around the hall with food, and the person, if necessary, takes everything he needs. These are light snacks, champagne, punch and much more. There is no need to hire a large number of waiters. It is enough to select 2 professionals who can masterfully pass between the guests. The ideal solution would be cooperation with a catering company.
If this option seems unsuitable, then you can try a regular buffet table. Small snacks are used to decorate the table, which can be quickly taken and eaten without the need to use a lot of cutlery. One of the more popular options is to create a candy bar that is designed in red or gold.
Disposable dishes can be used, but they should be decorated with appliqués on the appropriate theme. There is no need to fully imitate Hollywood, you just need to immerse yourself in this atmosphere a little, so there is no need to select plates and glasses too carefully. The tablecloth should be solid: red, yellow or gold. You can use the original menu.
- Cupcakes, small burgers, or cold cuts that you can eat without using cutlery.
- Seafood that is in high demand among Hollywood stars. They are extremely useful, but at the same time they have a minimum calorie content. If the budget allows, then you can serve lobsters, king prawns and even oysters.
- If you need to provide guests with something hearty, you can cook a steak.
- A rather interesting dish will be potato baked in foil, served with caviar. This is what the stars were offered at the last Oscar ceremony.
- The close attention of guests is usually riveted on desserts, which must be refined. Serve creamy strawberries or small meringues.
The drinks offered should be of high status, like the event itself. Among the most popular cocktails in Hollywood are Bloody Mary, Mojito and Blue Lagoon.
In addition, the Golden Goose Sizzle cocktail, which consists of whiskey, cream and passionfruit, was specially invented for the ceremony.
Musical accompaniment
At such an event, music usually plays in the background. Choose something quiet, but at the same time relaxing. On the internet, you can find a selection of songs that were played during the original ceremonies. In addition, it would be highly appropriate to include soundtracks from the most famous works of Hollywood. This can be music from films, TV series and melodies from performances.
Entertainment
Contests and awards should be given close attention, because it is necessary to somehow entertain the audience. One of the most popular is competition "Prompter"... To hold it, you need to invite the most active ladies to the stage, who stand in a row in front of the guests. Their task is to show the tricks that the stars succeed without any problems. All movements are shown by the instructor, after which the participants of the competition repeat them. The winner will be the girl who can convey as accurately as possible what she was shown.
Another popular competition is Best Actor nomination... Now it is the turn of the men who must try to replicate the most famous scenes from the films.The instructor turns them on on the big screen, after which the contestants repeat all the movements. The player is also offered the opportunity to independently name the scene that he plans to show. To do this, he can take no more than 3 items.
If the audience was able to quickly guess what was on display, it means that the performance was professional and the participant coped with his task.
As a final competition, you can offer guests remember the most famous phrases from the cinema that have become cult. A person enters the stage, names a phrase, and the guests have to guess in which film it sounded.
