All across Hollywood, things are a-flutter: Gray hairs are being dyed, “escorts” are being arranged, gowns are getting last-minute alterations, meals are being skipped, nominees are trying to decide whether to leave that sonofabitch agent of theirs out of their acceptance speech (5% of net? You tryin’ to bankrupt me, Murray?). Yes, kids, it’s Oscar time.
The Academy Awards Ceremony is this weekend, with plenty of red carpet gawking and awkward interviews at 7pm EST and the big show at 8. If you’ll be watching the show (as we will) and drinking (as we certainly will), we humbly offer up our official 2011 Academy Awards drinking game. Enjoy at your own risk — and make sure to join us here at tonight as we live blog the ceremony.

In the past, Flavorpill has brought you drinking games for some of our favorite shows, from True Blood to Mad Men to Glee. But even Don Draper would admit that there has never been a TV series that needs its own drinking game quite as much Skins. MTV’s American take on the controversial British series — which features teens doing drugs, having casual sex, and occasionally committing felonies – premieres tonight. We know that, in the spirit of these wild young things, you (and by that we mean, of course, those of you who are over 21) will want to be pretty intoxicated while watching it. Read the rules to our game after the jump, and be advised that hangovers tend to worsen as you age.

[Editor's note: This post was originally published on July 30, 2010, and has been updated for getting your buzz on during tonight's finale.] While watching True Blood last week, we had an epiphany. The entire show is about drinking. Vampires drink from humans. Humans drink from vampires. And don’t even get us started on the werewolves… So we wondered, if literally all of the characters are drinking something, why aren’t we? After the jump, check out the Official Flavorpill True Blood Drinking Game®, watch the preview of the second half of Season 3, and feel free to write additional rules in comments.

Still undecided about whether you’re watching the Emmys on Sunday night? Our friends at Vulture are predicting an epic showdown between the Goliaths (such as 30 Rock, Mad Men, and Lost) and the Davids (like Glee, Modern Family, The Good Wife, and Nurse Jackie), and we totally agree. We’d also like to suggest that like any other major sporting event, enjoyment of this awards show showdown will only be increased by your inebriation.
In that spirit, we present Flavorpill’s Official 2010 Emmy Awards Drinking Game. Join in, but be warned: We are not responsible for how you feel come Monday morning.

When Bravo TV’s reality series Work of Art: The Next Great Artist debuted in June, we wondered if it was a show with a future. All it took was one episode, though, and the proof was in the pudding (or, more accurately, in the paint): with its vast array of characters ranging from the boring-as-wallpaper Amanda, who was the first person eliminated, to Miles, the pretentious, OCD shoe-in for a winner, we were hooked. With things coming to a close tonight, we’re going to need a stiff cold one to make it through the nail-biting season finale (featuring celebrity guest judge David LaChapelle), wherein we’ll discover which of the remaining three contestants will win a solo show at the Brooklyn Museum. Raise a glass with us, then, and join in our Work of Art Season 1 Finale Drinking Game.

At long last Mad Men is back, and we’re looking forward to the return of the best reason for cocktails on a Sunday night (other than work on Monday). Now we can find out what it would be like to run your office out of a hotel room (like Suite Life of Zack and Cody, but with more cigarettes and adultery). And to celebrate the season four premiere, we’ve created a Mad Men drinking game. Not that you weren’t planning to throw back a few already, but because everything is more fun if you’re doing it competitively. Haven’t you read The Fountainhead like Bert Cooper told you to?

This Sunday marks the two and a half hour Lost finale extravaganza, and we at Flavorpill are feeling a little conflicted. We’re giddy with excitement (think of all the answers we’ll FINALLY get!) but we’re also sad because we’ll no longer have an excuse to ogle Henry Ian Cusick every week. So to combat this ambivalence, we’ve devised a drinking game for our fellow Losties to both drown our collective sorrows and reward us for having the patience and tolerance to stick with the oh-so cryptic show until the end. But be warned: this game might make your liver hate you forever. So grab a case or two of Dharma beer and peep the Official Flavorpill Lost Finale Drinking Game® rules after the jump. As always, feel free to suggest your own additions in the comments.

For all of you who are not LOST watchers, we assume that you will be watching Glee‘s return to television tonight. (Huzzah!) And although we think that the show is charming and funny and can dance well even when we’re sober… we like drinking games. Besides, drinking copious amounts of alcohol makes everything more fun, right? Right. So, grab your favorite adult beverage and make sure you’re at home or somewhere where you can crash when you play Flavorpill’s Official Glee Drinking Game®. Because you will be drunker than Kurt after slinging back Chablis by the time we’re through with you. Feel free to add to our rules in the comments!

Sometimes we don’t even know why we bother to watch the Academy Awards: The films and people we’re pulling for never win. The speeches and tributes make our eyes glaze over. And for some reason, the Oscar stage can turn even the funniest comedian into a shell of his usual self (ahem, Jon Stewart, ahem). The only way to save the evening, we’ve found, is to gather our snarkiest friends, mix some strong cocktails, and get hopelessly tanked while screaming obscenities at the TV screen.
But even drunks need structure. So, to speed you on your way to a delightfully intoxicated Oscar night, we present Flavorpill’s official 2010 Academy Awards drinking game.

So it has finally come to this. No longer content to just have sucked us in with season three’s much touted Chuck Bass gay kiss, season two’s Georgina Sparks Identity Theft Brouhaha, or Serena Van Der Woodsen’s tearful season one confession that she killed someone, the creators of Gossip Girl are making it that much harder to look away with titillating news that tonight the Upper East Side will be rocked by a scandal of epic sexual proportions: menage à trois. Gimmicky ratings ploy? Sure. But, hell, we’ll drink to that! And now so will you!
