It’s that magical, sparkly time of year again! Yes, I know that the Christmas season has come and gone. I’m talking award show season! It’s that special time dedicated to star-studded red carpets, gushing acceptance speeches, and fashion faux pas galore. I know I can’t be the only one anxiously anticipating this Sunday’s airing of the 85th annual Academy Awards, though I must admit, I haven’t quite kept up with all this year’s nominees.
To prep for the Oscars and bring myself up to speed on all the nominated films, I’ve rounded up this collection of award-worthy craft ideas, one to commemorate each of this year’s Best Picture nominees. Whether you’re rooting for your favorite films or you’re an impartial spectator, you can get in the award show spirit and learn a little about all the nominated films with these “critically acclaimed” craft ideas.
