Eagle Rock's 'Best Picks' Food for Your Oscar Party

Oscar rules the airwaves on Sunday along with James Franco, Anne Hathaway and more stars than you can shake a statue at. 

The dilemma? Your 10 best friends have nominated your home theater (or at least your flat screen T.V.) as their Academy Awards destination. You want to roll out the red carpet but are way too busy to cook. (You’re determined to dominate the Oscar pool so you’ll be at screenings of the nominated shorts.)

Take a tip from the production pros and cater your celebration with the following Eagle Rock-available culinary delights, creating theme dishes to match the 10 "Best Picture" nominees.

You’ll win Best Host and, like the celebs you’re rooting for, make it all look effortless.
