Awards season is in full swing and one of the most highly anticipated awards shows is coming up — the 2019 Oscars. Whether you're a huge movie buff or a casual viewer, the Oscars is a big deal. If you're hosting an Oscars viewing party, you may be looking for some elevated dishes fit for a black-tie affair. I've done some digging through our favorite recipes and selected a few that'll steal the show — some are even inspired by the Oscars' afterparty menu – so grab your plate, take a seat and let's see who wins!

These champagne jelly flutes look just like a glass of bubbly, but they're actually jelly in disguise. It's a festive treat that's not only pretty, but fun to eat too!

Don Julio will be supplying all the afterparty cocktails this year. Use this as inspiration to make your very own tequila cocktails. This refreshing take on a martini is citrusy, bright and oh-so-classy.
