Oscar Party Drinking Game

What is the best way to celebrate Oscar night? Make like you're in Hollywood and throw a glitzy and glamorous viewing party? Whip up some dishes and drinks inspired by the nominees?

Here's another suggestion: Get together with your favorite fellow movie geeks and play an Oscars-themed drinking game. Just print out the rules below, and make sure you have a tall glass of your favorite drink handy during the broadcast this Sunday!

 

Take One Sip If:

• An interviewer on the red carpet tells someone they look "fabulous," "gorgeous," or "fierce."

• A winner thanks the Academy.

• A winner pulls out a prepared speech or list of people to thank. (Take another sip if they do this while saying something along the lines of, "This is so unexpected...")

• A winner thanks their parents and/or family.

• A winner says how honored they are to just have been nominated in their category with their peers.

• The same movie wins more than one award.

• Every time 'Scorsese' is said (part of the Bridesmaids' stars drinking game introduced at the Golden Globes).

 

Take Two Sips If:

• Every time Billy Crystal cracks a joke about being the replacement host for Eddie Murphy.

• Someone forgets the name of the designer they're wearing.

• A presenter messes up their lines.

• Someone trips on camera.

• An actress has an obvious wardrobe malfunction.

• A winner forgets to thank their spouse or significant other.

• If a winner starts to tear up (finish your drink if they actually start to cry).

Take Three Sips If:

• Someone from The Artistwins and apologizes for their French accent in their acceptance speech.

• The winner is not in the audience.

• A winner has previously won an Academy Award.

• A winner pulls an Adrien Brody and inappropriately kisses the presenter.

• A winner gets visibly annoyed when the "wrap it up" music starts to play and has to cut their acceptance speech short.

• The camera shows the wrong person when a nominee is called, or the nominee is not in their seat when their category is called.

 

Finish Your Drink If:

• The announcer obviously mispronounces an actor's name.

• You actually listen to the President of the Academy's full speech.

• The camera catches a nominee having an obviously poor or negative reaction to losing.
