I know... wishful thinking

Maybe this
Oscars drinking game will make it more tolerable:
- Someone thanks their parents.
- Billy Crystal sings.
- Each time the camera cuts to George Clooney.
- Every time the band tries to cut off someone's speech.
- Someone cries.
- If Meryl Streep wins Best Actress and does her best "Taylor Swift surprised" face.
- Someone says, "I couldn't have done this without ...."
- Each time Uggie the dog appears, both on the stage, or on the screen.
- Each time someone mentions that if "The Artist" wins Best Picture, it will be the first silent film to receive the award since 1929.
- Each time "The Artist" doesn't win the award in a category it's nominated for.
- Each time a winner uses their speech time as a political platform.
- Each time someone mentions that Woody Allen never shows up to award shows.
- Each time Billy Crystal seems as bored as James Franco was last year.
- Each time someone at your Oscar party comments on how they thought "Hugo" was an animated film.
- Each time someone at your Oscar party laments the fact that Ryan Gosling was snubbed.
- Those looking to get really, really drunk should take a drink every time anyone says, "Thank you," "winner," "academy" or "film."
