I need to come up with an Oscars drinking game for a small get together I'm having to, duh, watch the Oscars. Here are some things I've found online but I'm looking for something more hilarious. Any ideas? The first 8 are my favorites.
Every person named during the Necrology who you forgot was dead. When the camera shows George "It's good to be me" Clooney grimacing drink Every actor you spot with odd facial hair he has obviously grown for a current movie role. Every time ABC promotes 'Desperate Housewives' in some way. Every losing nominee who pretends to look happy as someone else goes up to the stage. Every shot of or reference to the guys from Ernst & Young. The Mary Steenburgen Memorial Shot: Every presenter who's announced as a former Oscar nominee or winner and you can't remember for what. Every time there's an inexplicable cut to Jack Nicholson.
A winner says, Gosh, I dont know who to thank, only to begin immediately thanking people. You dont know what a particular category means. The Visual Effects winners urge viewers to check out a new website. If the recipients of the Best Makeup Oscar are the ugliest people in the room. Presenters trip on their way to the podium and then attempt to save-face by blaming it on their $10,000 heels. You catch losers flipping off the winners during the acceptance speeches. The computer geeks responsible for the Best Animated Feature nominations are seen wrestling in the aisles. Anyone's acceptance speech gets cut off by the orchestra Anyone receives a standing ovation Anyone cries Anyone's joke falls completely flat Anyone says "I know I'm forgetting someone . . ." during their speech Anytime there are multiple people who win the same award and one person hogs up all the speech time Any commercial is shown for an upcoming film Anyone thanks the Academy Anyone rattles off at least three names of people they thank without interruption When the Hollywood Sign is shown If someone mentions the Kodak Theater If Drew Barrymore appears braless drink When a winner whips out a list of names drink When the band ushers a winner of the stage drink Every time anyone says Oscars all players must drink. Every poor schlub who, just as he is about to get his chance to say thank you after the first guy droned on for a minute, doesn't even get a second at the microphone before the band drowns him out. Every time someone mentions how wonderful The Movies are as an institution. Every male winner who thanks his wife for being "beautiful", rather than intelligent, loyal or supportive.
