Food for an Oscars party should be a step or two up from the fare you’d serve to a football crowd.
Chicken wings and chips might be fine for cheering on your favorite team while watching a game, but for Academy Awards night, you’ll want to think more Hollywood and red carpets than gridiron and grass.

Here are some ideas on what to serve, from cocktails to savory appetizers and even an easy, elegant dessert.
