The Academy Awards are this Sunday (5:00 p.m. on ABC, with a 4:00 p.m. red-carpet preshow). Do you think watching the Academy Awards is too boring? Well, here is WM.™ STEVEN HUMP-ME’S ACADEMY AWARD™ OVERDOSE GAME™ to make things more interesting. This game is sure to spice up your Oscar party. The rules include:
Whenever anyone mentions the film The Social Network, scream, “NERD PILE!” and throw your body on top of the nerdiest person in the room. Laugh uproariously, drink an entire bottle of vodka, stop laughing, and start loudly sobbing in the corner.
Read Hump’s Oscar commentary and find the rest of the game rules here.
Feel free to jump in: Do you have some predictions about who will win? Who actually deserves to win? Rage over who was left out? An in-depth analysis of who is hottest in each category?
What if I’m out of vodka and diapers?
Will Kahlua and sani-wipes do?
I had a hard time deciding if The Social Network or The King’s Speech will win. (Something with “the” in the beginning of the title will win.)
Social Network is so American and Great Gatsby-like with Zuckerberg wanting to be the smartest (and coolest guy) in the room. Funny how the money really meant little to him at the time.
The King’s Speech is such old-timey, wonderful film-making with a great inspirational story that makes you just suffer for the main character.
What will appeal most to Oscar voters? AFter going out on a ledge with The Hurt Locker (another “the” film), I’m going with The King’s Speech.
I wish the actress in Animal Kingdom (ferocious performance) would win but I think Melissa Leo will win.
The King’s Speech will win. 100.
true dat, @3.
Anyone else love the cover of the New Yorker?
Yes, “I am Legend” .
