Oscar Party Recipes: Menus Based on 'Les Miserables,' 'Lincoln' and More!

Beasts of the Southern Wild

Food pops up all over this magical film set in the Louisiana bayou, including in the name of the film’s six-year-old heroine: Hushpuppy. Start your meal with the crispy fritters, then enjoy a Southern-style crab boil (don’t worry about cracking them open with your hands like a "beast") and finish it all with a birthday cake – another dish that plays a role in this truly memorable movie.
