Let’s be honest… neither Sylvester Stallone nor Arnold Schwarzenegger are going to be nominated for an Oscar for appearing in a Wes Anderson movie.
Quentin Tarentino is NOT going to receive an Oscar for any kind of Disney Kids movie type thing.
And Adam Sandler? Well let’s just stop right there.
For last week’s game, we thought it would be fun to take a little bit of time imagining some Oscar combos that were very unlikely.
Turns out the game was a little trickier than i thought and so we didn’t have the usual stampede…
But with the very talented @bunniboila at my side performing co-hosting duties, we still managed to have some fun – after all @AFrikkinHashtag prides itself on being a thinking person’s game and so quality over quantity every time and some of you still really brought it.
@bunniboila is someone who has a very active presence in the Hashtagging Games world and generally produces some really great and fun tweets for the games she plays in and so it was an easy ask and it was great when she agreed to co-host. i asked @bunniboila aka Hayley Smith to give us a bit of a down low on herself:
I’m a reluctant housewife (with narcolepsy). Mother of two girls. And, have become a bit of a “cat magnet”. I’m a non-professional artist, when not on-line. I originally started playing hashtag games to kill a little time. Now I think I’m addicted. If I’m not on Twitter, I can be found on Pinterest; where I’m strangely popular (not something I’m used to). I like reading, movies, and listening to music (CD or vinyl, none of these new-fangled Mp3 downloads for me!) And, I don’t actually hate bunnies 😉
We started the game with this invitation:
Then hit the ground running with these suggestions of our own:
