Your Oscars Watch Party Needs Googly Eyes for Your Houseplants
And why not buy decorative airplane bookends to celebrate your love of "Top Gun"?
And why not buy decorative airplane bookends to celebrate your love of "Top Gun"?
It’s almost time for the Academy Awards, and you’ve done your homework. You’ve seen the movies. You’ve researched which are most likely to win, in order to dominate your office Oscar pool. You’ve put together a punny menu for your watch party, and you’ve purchased each guest a fake Academy Award statuette personalized with an award title specific to their life. Now you just have one final step before the glittering stars take that hallowed award show stage: you must decorate your apartment with decor reminiscent of each "Best Picture" nominee. Don’t know where to look? Well, that’s what we’re here for.
Top Gun: Maverick
Okay, Pete Mitchell! With these decorative airplane bookends, you might have to explain you’re not actually a former Navy pilot who’s confronting his past while training a group of younger Top Gun graduates for a special assignment. You just appreciate those who are. (Tom Cruise.)
Women Talking
Listen, I’m not saying you won’t seem odd for having decor specific to Women Talking. Maybe don’t explain that you were going for "a Women Talking vibe" unless you’re also explaining that you were going for a whole 2023 Academy Awards theme. You know? Regardless, this lantern will accomplish the aforementioned vibe in a tasteful fashion.
Everything Everywhere All at Once
Sometimes it’s nice to live in the modern era. That you can buy magnetic googly eyes specifically for plants (like the googly eyes in Everything Everywhere All at Once, remember?) is evidence of that.
The Banshees of Inisherin
Just please don’t cut off any of the fingers from these hand cocktail napkins. At $85 for a set of four, that would cost $4.25 per finger. And while we may be made of resentment for our boring Irish friends, we are not made of money.
Triangle of Sadness
Housing a succulent is a much happier situation for this toilet than what occurred in Triangle of Sadness. And for that we are grateful.
The Fabelmans
You can just see that movie dork having a lamp like this, couldn’t you? "It reminds me of — the cinema!" That’s what he’d say. "Also, it reminds me of my mom! Everything does!" It’s still a cute lamp, though.
All Quiet on the Western Front
It’s era-appropriate. That’s the best we’re gonna be able to do for this one. I’m sure you understand.
Avatar: The Way of Water
Okay, did James Cameron use DeepX 3D technology to create this vase? Did the Na'vi make it to display lush Pandorian foliage indoors? Did the sky people steal this vase from Pandora and fill it with unobtanium? I’m out of stuff I know about Avatar, but it’s a nice vase.
Elvis
This cookie jar calls to mind the exact thought conjured by Austin Butler’s portrayal of Elvis in the movie Elvis, which is of course: "that’s Elvis." And it is!
Tár
Did you know the space used as Tár’s Berlin penthouse is actually a former World War II bunker currently owned by art collectors Christian and Karen Boros? And the rest of the building is now used as a museum that houses part of their collection? It’s true. And parts of their collection showed up in Tár’s space, like a pink Olafur Eliasson lamp. You can’t buy the Olafur Eliasson piece (probably; I don’t know your life) but you can maybe buy this pink Echo Neon floor lamp. And if Tár taught us anything, it’s to be happy with our modest achievements.
