Best Picture-themed cocktails from the Beverly Hills Hotel

Some of Hollywood’s brightest stars have celebrated an Academy Award win at The Beverly Hills Hotel.

Reportedly, Faye Dunaway, Gwyneth Paltrow, Michael Caine, Dame Judi Dench, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck have all quaffed champagne there, Oscar in hand.

The hotel’s Polo Lounge is mixing up nine unique cocktails, each in honor of one of this year’s Best Picture nominees. How we wish we had an invitation to sample them all!
