The 89-th Academy Awards (aka The Oscars) air Sunday, February 26th on ABC. Such a big occasion deserves an epic watch party. The question is: how does one throw an epic watch party? Wonder know more. Here are some tips on how to throw an awesome Oscar watch party.


1.Invite lots of friends

Oscar Sunday is a big event and the perfect opportunity to invite your friends over to party! Invite your closest friends. Invite friends you haven't talked to in a while. The more, the merrier!


2. Dress Code

Now you don't have to do anything fancy...unless you want to. Dressing up for the Oscars might be fun. If you're more in the mood to relax, try having a pajamas-and-pearls dress code.


3. Oscar Ballots

Oscar ballots are a fun and easy way to add a game/competition to your watch party. Have everyone fill out a ballot before the show begins. At the end of the night see who had the best guesses about the winners.


4. Award Oscar statuettes

You can buy little plastic statuettes at the party store and hand them out as party favor as your guests leave. Or you can have your own awards ceremony and give them to your guests as awards for certain things like Best Dressed. Either way, you're guests are going to love going home with their very own Oscar.


5. Have lots of food.

A party is only as good as its food. Make sure you've got lots of food for people to enjoy. If you don't want to make it all yourself, then do a potluck and ask guests to each bring a dish. Make sure you've got plenty of popcorn on hand. If you're trying to impress with food try making Academy Award-shaped sugar cookies.


6. Have drinks on hand.

How are you supposed to celebrate without a drink in hand? Champagne is a popular choice to toast the Oscars.It's classy and the ultimate celebratory drink. Why let the stars be the only ones enjoying a little bubbly?


7. Decorations

Decorations can make or break a party. It's the Oscars so why not go all out? Gold is the key color for the awards show so use it as your go-to color. Gold balloons. Gold plates and utensils. Maybe even roll out the red carpet for your guests.


8. Watch the Oscars Live

Obviously, you need to watch the Oscars since that's why you're all there, right? Enjoy the show and have a great time commenting on the winners with your friends!

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
