As we saw with last year's Best Picture debacle, the Oscars can be unpredictable. There's really only one thing you can guarantee when it comes to an Academy Awards broadcast: It's going to be a long show.
But that doesn't mean it can't be enjoyable. As with any event that starts to drag, just add alcohol!
Here's a drinking game you can play while watching Sunday's Academy Awards that, we would argue, is the only true way to keep the show moving.
Take a sip if Jimmy Kimmel jokes about last year's Best Picture incident.
Take a gulp if Jimmy Kimmel brings out the envelope in question.
Take a shot if a presenter opens an envelope and jokes "La La Land — just kidding!"
Finish the bottle if "La La Land" somehow actually does win something.
Take a sip if at some point the firm that tabulates the Oscar voting is introduced.
Take a gulp if a representative of that firm comes out with a briefcase holding the voting results.
Take a shot if the person has the briefcase attached to them with handcuffs.
Finish the bottle if the briefcase is handcuffed to a part of their body that is not their hand.
Take a sip when a female nominee is announced (outside actress-only categories).
Take a gulp if that female nominee doesn't win (outside actress-only categories).
Take a shot if that female nominee does win (outside actress-only categories).
Finish the bottle if even the Lead Actress and Supporting Actress categories are somehow all men.
Take a sip if you've seen one of the films in the Foreign Language category.
Take a gulp if you've seen more than one.
Take a shot if you've seen all of them.
Finish the bottle if you were unaware this category is a thing.
