The 2024 Oscars Drinking Game That's Better Than The Celebs' 6-Figure Swag Bags

It's finally time — Hollywood is pulling out all of the stops to reward itself for the movies it released in 2023. Even though the actors' and writers' strikes brought the industry to a stand-still throughout the summer and fall, the stars will be out in force on Sunday night, basking in the glow of the "Barbenheimer" box-office phenomenon and a roster of first-time nominees.

Amongst all of the glittering gowns and awkward red carpet greetings, however, one thing viewers won't be seeing (aside from Wolfgang Puck's famous banquet) is the six-figure swag bags gifted to the top nominees. These bags are just the latest iteration of a tradition that's been going on for years, courtesy of the Hollywood marketing agency Distinctive Assets. Per a press release, each "Everyone Wins" bag contains oodles of luxury skincare, several all-inclusive stays at opulent destinations like the Alps and the Caribbean, a private meeting with a so-called "mentalist to the stars," and, curiously, a blender.

While most people can only dream of this level of luxury, you can still make your Oscars evening entertaining and memorable by playing this drinking game. We already know it's going to be a big night for "Barbie" jokes and teary speeches, so grab a bottle of champagne and some tequila and get ready to enjoy your own Oscar buzz.

Take a sip whenever...
