Sunday, March 5th will be here before you know it. It's time to start planning your party celebrating the 78th annual Academy Awards. Begin your online shopping for Oscar night at ShinDigz.com, where you'll find plenty of Hollywood-themed party favors and decorations — and earn 5% back from ConsumerClub.com. Also check my old standby, PlumParty.com, where I've recently bought everything from classy invitations, decorative filmstrips and place settings to chocolate trophies and popcorn boxes.

Looking for a sneak preview of the evening ahead? Visit Oscars.com to find lists of nominees, trailers for films nominated, fashions from years past and more. Learn about this year's presenters and play games that could win you a trip to the Oscars.

Speaking of games, while you're on the web site, use the plentiful information there to create a trivia game of your own for the evening of the party. Have everyone take their best guesses at this year's winners — and throw in a few questions about Oscars past.

You'll want to save yourself some effort in the kitchen on a such a glamour-filled evening. Order gourmet treats and flowers from HarryandDavid.com, and earn 4% back from ConsumerClub.com. Or try some of the delectable confections from AKAGourmet.com and get 8% back from ConsumerClub.com. Turn to the FlyingNoodle.com for tasty pasta and more (and 8% back from ConsumerClub.com).

The winners on screen will walk away with golden statues and the admiration of all their peers. As for the winners at your party? Send them home with an Oscar-nominated movie soundtrack from iTunes.com or BarnesandNoble.com, both of which earn you money back from ConsumerClub.com. Or just buy the music for yourself and enjoy the ambiance of the evening long after Oscar night is over.
