Not everyone is into watching the Oscars so a sure way to make it fun for EVERYone at your awards show viewing party is naturally to turn it into a drinking game. Inspired by Brand X and Rundown LA‘s Oscars Drinking Games, I came up with more rules. Thanks to my Tweeps for the suggestions. I’ll continue to update this list as more rules come in. Leave your rules in the comments or, if you tweet, use #OscarsDrinkingGame to be added.
Take a shot?
whenever James Franco and Anne Hathaway high-five
whenever someone mentions something political in their acceptance speech (see above video for a doozy of a political statement)
for every fifth person in the dead person montage whom you don’t recognize. Pray it’s not all publicists, execs and actors from the ’50s
whenever someone in your party says “I didn’t know they died” during the dead person montage
whenever an award winner tries to return to their seat but gets redirected by the trophy girl
someone’s acceptance speech runs long and the orchestra starts playing
