Your Result:
Make it a Best in Pot Luck Party
You are an easy-going host who loves to throw parties where everyone contributes. Make your Award Show Viewing Party a pot luck feast, and ask each guest to bring their best-ever dish. For your contribution, you can serve the best version of mac and cheese ever, Garganelli with Raclette and Parmesan, and pair Sofia Blanc de Blancs. No time to cook? Put together a cheese platter or create a mezze platter with store-bought spreads like hummus, tzatziki or baba ganoush. Ask guests who aren’t into cooking to help set an award-winning mood like a playlist and party decorations. At the end of the night, do your own thank-you speech, and give a shout out to your cast and crew for making this film (er, party) possible.

Do a Best in Buffet Party
You like a good party, but you’d rather spend time with guests than prepping in the kitchen. A buffet-style Award Show Viewing Party means your guests can graze whenever they like, and you don’t have to miss a moment. You’ll want to make everything in advance such as this Instant Pot French Dip or this easy lasagna. Or, do a Spanish-inspired tapas buffet menu and pair with Sofia Brut Rose. Spruce up your buffet table with award-style decorations you can purchase at any party store, and download printable ballots so you and your friends can play along.

Host a Red Carpet-Style Soiree
This is your role of a lifetime! You plan the best parties, and award show season is the perfect opportunity to go all out with your super hosting skills. Plan a multi-course dinner, and make sure to DVR the award show so that you can pause it while you prepare each course. Place a red carpet near your entryway for your guests’ arrival, and greet them with an easy but impressive hors d’oeuvre like Smoked Salmon Mousse with Crostini. Make a crown roast of pork, the perfect show-stopping dish for a special occasion, accompanied with this glammed up potato gratin. Pair with Diamond Collection Golden Tier Oregon Pinot Noir . End the show with a decadent finale of dark chocolate panna cotta. Decorate your space with as much gold and silver as possible, and don’t forget to wear your best red carpet-worthy gown or tuxedo!
