How To Throw The Best "Les Miserables" Themed Oscar Party

Calling allLes Misérables fans: The 2013 Academy Awards are coming up this Sunday, Feb. 24 and your film du jour is up for a lot of awards (eight, to be exact).

So, if you're hoping to host a soiree because you love the musical, Hugh Jackman, or seeing Anne Hathaway with a pixie cut, we're here to show you how to get the party started.

3. The Menu:

4. Keep it simple and serve the food of French peasants: a loaf of rustic bread and cheese.

5. Or get your pun on with foods labeled around the film. (Think "What have pie done?" "A cake cart full of love," and "Jean Valbun.")

Need a recipe? Try this cream puff recipe as a tasty dessert with the label, "I Dream a Cream Puff."

10. And if you're going as Inspector Javert...

The most crucial aspects of dressing as your favorite determined authority figure would have to be his knee-high boots, the long coat and sensible top hat. Score any one of those and you're golden.
