And the Oscar Nominations Are…

January 12, 2012

Here in Hollywood, it’s awards season. That means red carpets, stars…and billboard asking voters to consider Harry Potter for nominations.

For more of these billboards, go here.

But for me, awards season means desserts! For an Oscar party last year, I made movie-themed cupcakes and this year, once the nominations are officially announced, I plan on doing the same. My mind is already spinning with ideas.

Oscar announcements officially go up on Friday and I can’t wait to get started on designs and flavors. This year I managed to see a ton of films and I’m hoping that some of my favorites get nominated and win. Here are Secret Marmalade’s Oscar nominations for the top categories!
