Oscars Party 2010

Words are hard to describe my mother's Academy Awards Party. She really goes all out and it gets bigger and bigger every year. It really is one of our favorite nights of the year. It is HILARIOUS and SUCH FUN. The rule is...You have to dress as any movie character from 2009
Which results in the following:
Cast of THE SQUEAKUEL

Cast of THE BLIND SIDE

Max from Where the Wild Things Are, Princess Tiana from Princess and the Frog, and a castmember from Whip It

The party planner herself, AMELIA EARHART

Julie and Julia and Up in the Air

The Cast of The Tooth Fairy (an Oscar snub, for sure)

The Cast of WHIP IT, AVATAR, and AN EDUCATION

The Cast of THIS IS IT and INVICTUS

The Cast of JULIE and JULIA

The Cast of UP
