There will be $10 small plates, including beef sliders, crab cake sliders, calamari and ahi tuna tartare, as well as $1 East Coast oysters and $3 shrimp cocktail (per piece). 

To drink, enjoy $10 wines by the glass and $10 cocktails named for some of the Best Picture nominees.

While watching the TV, you may want to also pull up Twitter on your phone. That's where "Oscars All Access: Red Carpet Live," which features red carpet highlights and insider coverage, will be streamed live exclusively this year.
