On Sunday, Swatties congregated in Upper Tarble to watch the 84th Annual Academy Awards. Hosted by the Movie Committee, and led by Natalia Cote-Munoz ’12, it was a night full of yummy food and good vibes.

Natalia says that the Oscars Party her freshman year was her motivation for planning Sunday’s event. This year’s revamp featured a red carpet, a paparazzi photographer, and food catered from Renato Pizza, Margaret Kuo’s, and Pei Wei. Dean of Students Liz Braun thought the event was fantastic and called it “the closest I’ll ever get to attending the Oscars.”
