Great movies and great food are box office gold, from Forrest Gump’s chocolates to Silence of the Lambs anti-hero Hannibal Lecter’s disturbing pairing suggestion for chianti.

We’ve put together a selection of drinks and appetizers inspired by five Best Picture Oscar winners to help you get your Academy Award’s viewing party rolling. So get ready to settle in with a beverage and a bite when Hollywood celebrates itself on Sunday. You’ve got all the bases covered – lights, camera, (snack) satisfaction.

‘Gone with the Wind’

A starving Scarlett O’Hara resorts to grubbing up radishes in the famous “I’ll never be hungry again” scene that ends the first half of Gone With The Wind. Luckily, you can try something much tastier with the Scarlett Cocktail featuring cranberry and cherry juice.

Serve some manchego cheese toasts on the side for an elegant nibble. This appetizer uses banana bread, a food that came into vogue in the 1930s as baking powder and baking soda became staples of the American kitchen. It’s not likely you’ll have leftovers, but if you do, fiddledeedee! Tomorrow is another day.

The Scarlett Cocktail

• Combine 2 ounces cranberry juice, 2 ounces cherry juice, 2 ounces citrus vodka and 1 ounce lime juice in a cocktail shaker filled with ice.

• Shake and strain into a martini glass. Garnish with fresh cherries. Makes 1 serving.

Manchego Banana Bites

• Slice a loaf of banana bread thinly and cut into 2-inch rounds with a small cookie cutter.

• In a skillet, melt butter over medium-high.

• Toast the banana bread rounds in the buttered skillet.

• Serve topped with slices of manchego cheese and toasted pecans. Makes 24 rounds.

‘Casablanca’

Everybody comes to Rick’s Cafe Americain in the movie Casablanca, whether it’s for cocktails, eats, forged letters of transit or hopes of winning big at roulette. You’ll probably want to stick to the first two, though.

Here’s a recipe for a spicy whiskey sour that would be right at home in the `40s nightclub scene that serves as the background for Casablanca’s story of love and war.

And if you’re looking to gamble on something new, why not try some potato chip cookies, a twist on the traditional snack. We can’t guarantee your friends will be shocked – shocked! – but they may be mildly surprised.

Moroccan Sour Cocktail

• Combine 2 ounces whiskey, juice of 1/2 lemon, 1 teaspoon extra-fine sugar a pinch each ground ginger, turmeric and cinnamon in a double old fashioned glass, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved.

• Add 1 ice cube and top with a splash of seltzer water or club soda.

• Garnish with a lemon twist. Makes 1 serving.

Potato Chip Cookies

• In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat together 1/2 cup unsalted butter with 1 packed cup of brown sugar.

• Add 1 egg and beat again.

• Add 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 cup finely crushed potato chips and 1/2 cup sliced almonds. Mix just until combined.

• Scoop by the teaspoonful onto parchment-lined baking sheets and bake for 10 to 12 minutes at 350 degrees. Makes 30 cookies.
