Tina Fey and Amy Poehler Explain Golden Globes Drinking Game For Tonight
Tonight, the world will have the pleasure of watching Tina Fey and Amy Poehler host the Golden Globe Awards. So far, they've released two hilarious videos promoting the event, and in a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the ladies outlined some ideas for a Golden Globes drinking game.
Their suggestions in fact go well beyond drinking, and include an eating game, and a Golden Globes version of strip poker. Here's the transcript:
THR: OK, so can you come up with a couple of rules for a Globes drinking game? Fey: Any time an actress cries in a speech, drink. Any time you see a person actively not listening to someone onstage, drink.
Poehler: Any time someone says, “I didn’t prepare anything!”
Fey: Any time anyone thanks Harvey Weinstein, eat a meatball sub.
THR: How about any time they show Judi Dench?
Fey: Yeah. You take off an article of clothing.
Poehler: Any time Maggie Smith wins.
