After all, what's better than questioning the sartorial judgment of people much more attractive and much wealthier than you are? And if you're going to do it anyway, why not make a game of it? Here, we've collected some of the sights you're bound to see at the very high-brow Academy Awards and paired them with that very massmarket pastime: bingo. Cut out the cards, distribute to your Oscar-night guests and discuss the rules beforehand. Will a player only win with horizontal, vertical or diagonal lines? Or can you do four corners? Does the preshow coverage count, or only the actual awards show? Players MUST call out clues for them to count. Decide whether everyone gets to mark their board when they see a clue on TV, or just the first person to call it out. If you choose the latter, then everyone else must wait until George Clooney shows up again (don't worry, it will happen). — McClatchy-Tribune PtD-ClIPPfT 151M0 ( -.7:-,- 4 . 111 al .
