The Oscar Drinking Game will make your weekend

Sunday is the biggest night in movies, the Oscars. The annual parade of stars who want to win an award while other stars and the world watch them win will be broadcast on ABC. The show will go down in Los Angeles, but the real show might be how we all riff on the proceedings in our own watch parties with our Twitter feed flying faster than Superman. Let’s just hope we get something as memorable as the blunder last year over the Best Picture announcement, and the shining comedy talent that is host Jimmy Kimmel.

And we will be drinking, enter RollingStones Oscar Drinking Game. Yes. if happens on the TV you take a swig! No matter what movie you root for, this will be a fun way to get saucey while a Hollywood star tries remember their agent’s assistant’s name. Kudos to RS for basically putting together a drinking game that insures you will be feeling it when final award is presented.

Drink THE FIRST TIME:
1. Jimmy Kimmel makes a joke in which the punchline is the title of one of the Best Picture nominees. (Take another slug if the nominee in question is Get Outor Darkest Hour. Take a third shot if the joke involves one of those titles AND is somehow about Trump.)

2. There’s a joke about Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri that uses a picture of actual billboards. (We’d say drink EVERY time this happens, but we do not want to flood hospital emergency rooms.)

3. A presenter or winner brings up the notion of diversity. Double the drink if they somehow use it to also promote an upcoming project.

4. There’s an earnest reference to #MeToo and/or #TimesUp.

5. Someone actually says the word “hashtag” when referencing either of those movements.

6. The name “Harvey Weinstein” is mentioned. Double the shot if there’s booing.

7. Kimmel (or someone else) makes a crack involving Mr. Weinstein and somehow ties it in to The Shape of Water‘s fish-man romance. For the record, we pray to God we do not have to acknowledge this rule during the broadcast.

8. Someone talks about how weird The Shape of Water is.

9. Someone says, “We’re ALL in the Sunken Place!”

10. Someone references how rarely horror gets nominated.

11. Someone references how rarely women directors get nominated.

12. Someone references how rarely African-American directors get nominated.

13. Someone references how rarely Tom Hanks gets nominated.

14. Someone references how rarely Steven Spielberg gets nominated.

15. Someone references how often Meryl Streep gets nominated.

16. Someone makes a joke about how often Meryl Streep wins.

Drink Every TIME:
17. There’s a joke about last year’s Best Picture Envelopegate (TM) incident. Please be careful with this one, it could get dangerous.

18. A winner makes an impassioned #MeToo and/or #TimesUp acceptance speech.

19. A winner screws up their impassioned #MeToo and/or #TimesUp acceptance speech. Double the amount if said winner is male.

20. News breaks that a nominee is being accused of sexual harassment/inappropriate behavior during the broadcast.

21. The camera doesn’t cut away quickly enough and you see a nominee betray how they really feel about losing.

22. The camera cuts to George Clooney after a joke, and he laughs, then looks to his right.

23. Someone makes a joke/comment involving race and the camera cuts to Jordan Peele.

24. Someone makes a joke/comment involving harassment or sexism and the camera cuts to Meryl Streep.

25. A winner thanks Meryl Streep in their speech.

26. Meryl Streep receives an impromptu ovation.

27. Dunkirk wins a technical award.

28. Anyone complains/jokes about a movie or performance not getting nominated. Double the amount if it involves Three Billboards “having apparently directed itself.” Triple the amount if said person somehow works in a Ben Affleck/Argo reference as well.

29. Someone mispronounces a nominee’s name. Double the shot if the name is Guillermo del Toro. Down the whole bottle if John Travolta is also somehow involved again.

30. An audience participation gimmick falls flat.

31. Somebody makes a joke about fishman/human sex in The Shape of Water.

32. Somebody makes a joke about peach/human sex in Call Me By Your Name.

33. An esteemed British acting nominee fails to show up.

34. The montage of the dead lets through just enough live sound to give you you a sense who people are really clapping for.

35. Someone on Twitter complains about someone being left out of the moratorium and, like, WTF, Academy?!? (Careful with this one, too.)

36. Any time someone jokes about how long the Oscar telecast runs. Double the shot if this happens during the fifth or sixth hour of the show.

37. Jimmy Kimmel apologizes for being another white dude host.

FINISH THE BOTTLE IF:

38. Jordan Peele accepts an award as one of his Key & Peele characters. Drink two bottles if it’s Wendell Sanders.

BONUS ROUND:

39. A winner who tells the audience to visit a URL to get more information about his/her pet political cause.

40. A winner refers to his/her project as “a labor of love.”

41. The words “powerful,” “important” and/or “brave” are used. Double the shot if the phrase “now more than ever” is also used.

42. You swear you’re never watching the Oscars again, then remember you said the exact same thing last year.

Twenty-One Pilots have done something no one in music has before

Twenty-One Pilots have gone from an unique underground band to one of the biggest alternative acts in the world, selling out arenas months in advance, but they have recently earned an achievement that no one has in music, at least until now. The Ohio duo’s smash-hit Blurryface has become the first album to see every single of it’s tracks go gold according to Billboard. The rare designation of success was made official yesterday by the Recording Industry Association of America.

Blurryface has racked up tons of success since the RIAA changed their rules for Gold and Platinum certification.

7x Platinum: “Stressed Out”
4x Platinum: “Ride”
2x Platinum: “Tear In My Heart”
Platinum: “Heavydirtysoul,” “Fairly Local,” “Lane Boy”
Gold: “The Judge,” “Doubt,” “Polarize,” “We Don’t Believe What’s On TV,” “Message Man,” “Not Today,” “Goner,” “Hometown”

The last track from the 2015 album to pass into the golden graces was ‘Hometown’.

In the age of streaming music on multiple different platforms beyond a physical music release on CD of vinyl, this type of accomplishment could be more common with big name artists but it’s heartwarming to see our guys Tyler Joseph and Josh Dunn score this special honor.

Meanwhile, TOP is currently on a break from the public after extensively touring behind Blurryface, and there is no announced timeline for future music or touring.

Local H Show For Charity

One of my favorite bands and two of my favorite people are one in the same – Local H!  They are helping to open Punch Bowl Social Chicago in the West Loop Saturday (3/10) from 7p-9p in a ticket only event that includes free diner-inspired food, booze, a badass rock show and 100% of the proceeds to benefit KT’s Kids, who raise money for the kids of KidsRehab at Schwab Rehabilitation.

Grab your $20 tickets HERE and let’s party!

Any attempt by any person to deliberately undermine the legitimate operation of the Contest may be a violation of criminal and civil law, and, should such an attempt be made, Station reserves the right to seek damages from any such person to the fullest extent permitted by law. Station’s failure to enforce any term of these Official Rules shall not constitute a waiver of that provision.
  8. Limitations of Liability. The Released Parties are not responsible for: (1) any incorrect or inaccurate information, whether caused by entrants, printing errors or by any of the equipment or programming associated with or utilized in the Contest; (2) technical failures of any kind, including but not limited to malfunctions, interruptions, or disconnections in phone lines or network hardware or software; (3) unauthorized human intervention in any part of the entry process or the Contest; (4) technical or human error which may occur in the administration of the Contest or the processing of entries; or (5) any injury or damage to persons or property which may be caused, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, from entrant’s participation in the Contest or receipt or use, non-use or misuse of any prize. If for any reason an entrant’s entry is confirmed to have been erroneously deleted, lost, or otherwise destroyed or corrupted, entrant’s sole remedy is another entry in the Contest, provided that if it is not possible to award another entry due to discontinuance or completion of the Contest, or any part of it, for any reason, Station, at its discretion, may elect to hold a random drawing from among all eligible entries received up to the date of discontinuance for any or all of the prizes offered herein. No more than the stated number of prizes will be awarded.

  9.

SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATIONS OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. All issues and questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and enforceability of these Official Rules, or the rights and obligations of entrant and Sponsor in connection with the Contest, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the state in which the Station is located, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules (whether of the state in which the Station is located or any other jurisdiction), which would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the state in which the Station is located.
  10. Entrant’s Personal Information. Information collected from entrants is subject to Station’s Privacy Policy, which is available on the Station’s website under the “Privacy Policy” link.
