The awards shows have turned into parodies of themselves: stars thanking their lawyers, refusing to “wrap it up,” trying to exit off the wrong side of the stage.
This year, we’re embracing the clichés. Join Kurt Andersen and the 360 staff as we play interactive bingo:
Start with the card below. Click on the tiles when you hear or see the cliché. When you’ve got a complete row “YELL BINGO!”
Get a fresh card and start all over again!
(Bonus: Listen to an Oscars special from The Takeaway.)
Follow #OscarsBingo on Twitter to see who else is playing and to join the conversation. The Academy Awards broadcast Feb. 24 at 8:30 p.m. ET on ABC.
