{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}The Oscars are this Sunday and even if you can't walk the red carpet in Los Angeles, it doesn't mean you can't set up a red carpet in your own home and watch the show in style.
Author and lifestyle expert Erika Katz shared her favorite Oscar party hosting tips with FoxNews.com.
"Oscar is a big night and we want to everything fabulous," Katz said.

She also suggests playing a game that will interact with the show. This red carpet Bingo game was made by Marc Friedland, who also designed the envelopes that hold the Academy Award winners' names. Put gold candy coins over cards filled with Oscar show oopies like actor acceptance speeches getting cut off or the most garish dresses.
