Get Sloshed with the Stars: The Oscars 2015 Drinking Game
Nothing spices up the Oscars like a relentless, unforgiving drinking game.
Get ready for red carpet specials, awkward presenter gaffes and all the bitter celebrity reaction shots your heart could possibly desire — it's time for the Oscars. This means one thing for all of us playing at home and not taking away $150,000 gift baskets: Concrete Playground's 2015 Academy Awards Drinking Game.
