Possible Running Order/Rounds-
- Host comes out and introduces the show. Followed by a short monologue from the host consisting of film related jokes.
- Contestants introduced, quick chat.
- Round 1- "Say Hello To My Little Questions" (Quickfire round)
- Round designed to get the game going, and allow the contestants to build up some stars/points. The questions are worded weirdly so they're not just typical quiz show questions, for example "Which 1997 film has the word 'tit' in the title?" or "In which 2015 film was Leonardo Dicaprio violated by a bear?".
- Some questions will be related to other things, like finishing a quote, working out an emoji movie title, guessing which famous film poster the host has recreated, or working out a movie title after hearing a 5 second summary of its plot.
- After each question the contestants will write their answers down on a small whiteboard and reveal them at the same time.
- Round 2- "VT Round"
- This round consists of questions related to VTs. The host's friends Dave and Steve have always wanted to be in the movies, so one day they got a bit drunk, and filmed a few audition tapes, for example:
- Casting Call: They recreate a famous movie scene for an audition, and the contestants must guess which movie it is. Bonus points for the year.
- Face Swap: They use an app to face swap with a movie star, and say a famous quote of theirs. The contestants must write down who they think it is.
- Silent Movies: They act out the title of a movie, and the contestants must guess the title. Like charades.
- Name That Theme: They play a movie theme badly on a recorder, and the contestants must guess the movie.
- Trivia VT or I Ain't Afraid Of No Host -
- 1. To allow time for the next game to be set up, a trivia VT is played. In this VT, the audience are told some trivia about a few popular movies (1:00-1:30)

- Round 3- "Pin The Oscar"

- The person with the most stars/points will then play the final round in an attempt to win The Golden Clapper Board.
- In this round the final contestant will be faced with a row of boxes with movie titles on them. Under each box is a card with the amount of money that has film grossed to date in the box office. The contestant must work their way along the row, guessing whether the next film made more or less money. They have two chances to get it wrong, and they're allowed help from the audience.
- If they finish the line up, they win the prize. If not, they end up on the cutting room floor.
