The Oscars are tomorrow! Every year for as long as I can remember, the Oscars were a special event I never missed. My eyes would be glued to the TV, scanning the red carpet for all my favorite Hollywood stars. Of course, Oscars night was another reason in my house to eat! We usually had Chinese take-out. But this year, I'm dressing up some classic treats we can always count on during any Blockbuster hit: Popcorn and Candy!
