Your Official Drinking Game for the 2016 Oscars

After several months of lead-up, one major controversy, and a whole lot of formerly respected actors making themselves look stupid by talking about a subject they don't understand, the 2016 Academy Awards are finally upon us. Before you settle in for at least three hours of celebrities praising each other (not to mention two or more hours of red-carpet coverage, if you're really committed), have a look at the official Cosmopolitan.com drinking game, which is guaranteed to make the experience at least 10 percent more bearable. But please, fill out your Oscar ballots ​before ​you hit the boxed wine. If you're having trouble figuring out the difference between sound mixing and sound editing now, imagine doing it when you're drunk.
