Valentine’s Day has come and gone, and now is the time for discounted chocolates and post-midterm parties. That being said, the end of winter comes with the most anticipated broadcast of the year: The Academy Awards. This year, unsurprisingly, the Oscars have stirred up a fair bit of controversy over the lack of diversity represented in the nominations. However, on average, the Academy Awards reach approximately 40 million viewers worldwide which, even taking into consideration the inevitable boycotting of the event, will draw in a substantial amount of attention. With the Oscars comes Oscar parties, and whether you’re celebrating with your friends or cavorting with your co-workers, here are the four people you’re guaranteed to meet over the course of this critically acclaimed evening.

The One Who Dresses the Part

Regardless of whether or not formal or semi-formal attire was included as a prerequisite for the evening, every Oscar party has that one guest who looks like they’ve shown up to the wrong address, because they’re clearly meant to be escorting Mr. Damon down the red carpet. With more effort than you’ve put into getting ready in the last three months, everyone else is shamed in comparison to their glowing presence. While they may be a tad more uncomfortable than your average Oscar party guest, they should take pride in knowing that, should they have arrived at Dolby Theatre instead of your apartment, they definitely would have been mistaken for at leasta C-list celebrity.

The Prophet

No Oscar party is complete without that movie connoisseur who is just a little too boastful about their constantly on-point predictions. Granted; they’re accurate enough that you can’t help but either a) be impressed, or b) start to suspect they might have been a member of the Academy itself. Their smugness, however tedious it may be, is well-deserved as compensation for the exorbitant amount of money they forked over in order to actually see the movies. Unlike the rest of us, who based our predictions off a few reviews and maybe the trailer, their predictions are well-grounded and infuriatingly precise.

The Activist

Now, unlike the other guests, the Activist won’t physically be attending the party. Following in the footsteps of Will and Jada Pinkett Smith or Spike Lee, they will be boycotting the evening for their controversial nominations. Their Twitter feed, however, will act as a sort of new age protest, full of valid and clever arguments about Hollywood’s corruption, all contained within 140 characters. While you won’t meet the Activist face-to-face on Oscar night, they’ll appreciate your dutiful retweets despite the fact that you yourself are not joining them in withholding your patronage.

The Clueless Fangirl

The Fangirl, much like the Prophet, has seen the films. In fact, they might have even seen some of the films multiple times, because isn’t Oscar Isaac dreamy? Be it Redmayne, Cumberbatch, or Isaac, the Fangirl dutifully supports the Internet’s unofficial “Man of the Year”. The Fangirl provides some much deserved appreciation for categories of: Best Achievement in Film and/or Sound Editing, and Best Achievement in Visual Effects, because The Force Awakens and Caroldidn’t receive nominations for much else. Resigned to the fact that Poe Dameron wasn’t nominated for Best Actor, the Fangirl will nonetheless be excited to reblog the countless Tumblr posts following Leonardo DiCaprio’s long-awaited Oscar acceptance.

If, while reading this list, you recognize yourself in one of these party guests, just know that there is no shame in looking glam or taking a stand. Our Oscar party would not be complete without you.
