Although it was shut out of the majors, the big Hollywood movie from the best-selling novel did garner technical nods for art direction, cinematography and costume design. It's a theme easily translatable to an entertaining evening, complete with sushi and sake. For your Red Carpet debut, guys, outfit yourself in an obi -- the cummerbund from your tux will do fine; females can flirt in a kimono-style dress (we found one at Anthropologie, right). You can score chopsticks cheap at Da Hsin Trading Company, an Asian goods warehouse on the edge of the District's Chinatown. If you can find some red lacquered TV tray tables, that would be quite a nice touch.
