Oscars Drinking Game

Gearing up for Oscars? Love 'em or hate 'em, this drinking game will make it much more tolerable!

Oscars Drinking Game

DRINK WHEN:

  • Someone in the audience has a really obvious emotional reaction (disappointment, shock, happiness)
  • A silent movie joke is made
  • The orchestra cuts off an acceptance speech
  • The acceptor remarks on the orchestra's cutting off his or her acceptance speech
  • Someone says "wow"
  • You realize Meryl Streep is your hero (so the whole thing? -- Ed.)
ALSO:
  • Take an extra drink when you realize you're drinking because you're bored
  • Waterfall during the montage of dead celebrities
HERE'S THE IMPORTANT ONE:
  • If your pick for a given category wins, give a drink
  • If your pick for a given category loses, take a drink


(thanks Lucile!)

- tattoo you can read
- man so fat you wonder how he can run

We'd love to hear some suggestions for the halftime game! We will be live-updating, so bring them on!



LET'S GO PATS!

Reno 911

Jeopardy

Yes, the game show. Don't lie, that's what you sometimes do on a Saturday night. We can't all be always wild.

Drink every time:
-- Alex makes an obnoxious/douchy remark
--'Daily Double' happens. (optional: drink DOUBLE)
-- Someone clicks the buzzer without knowing the answer
-- You get the answer right and the contestant gets it wrong
-- The contestant's life story is weirdly too personal / tragic
-- One person dominates the category down the line
-- Every contestant gets it wrong.

To make things a little more interesting, we've added these rules.

Bet on your contestant in the beginning. We recommend doing it quarter-beer/drink chunks. So you can bet up to a full beer on a contestant.

You should also bet on Final Jeopardy! Not on contestants, but on your own answers. Play along!
