Congratulations! So far you’ve survived 2026, and the Academy Awards approach. If you like the Oscars, that means it’s time to download and print an Oscar bingo game before the show on Sunday, March 15.
This marks my 18th year of designing Oscar bingo cards. A nice note I got last year:
“I just wanted to say, thank you for doing this every year. It is the highlight of Oscar night. I have friends this year who literally said they will only come for the bingo!”
I hope this year’s version doesn’t disappoint, because I want you to have friends, Kate.
My food this year is going to be Sinners-themed. I tested a roasted garlic martini that would definitely ward off vampires, but wasn’t great to drink. Instead, I’m going with a little garlic simple syrup added to bourbon, with sweet vermouth, bitters, and mezcal for smokiness. I’ll also have supplies for a “Sin and Tonic.”
Appetizers will be “Potato Skinners” and “Michael Brie Jordan Bites.” With “Smoked and Stacked” sandwiches. Someone on Reddit suggested making “Ryan Kugel,” which cracked me up, but I’m keeping it simple.
Get your printable Oscar bingo PDF
As always, there are 20 different cards. Print the number of pages you need. Pages are US letter-sized, 8.5” x 11.” Depending on your printer’s capabilities, print at 100% or reduce to fit.

My standard disclaimer: I don’t know when a bingo might happen. Could be 15 minutes into the show, or theoretically never. Best wishes.
Need a matching Oscar ballot?
You can find free ballots all over the internet, but a matching set is always prettier. The ballot has a points system to eliminate ties, with popular categories weighted more heavily. Bingo and the ballot are listed as a combo, and sales help cover my Oscar bingo newsletter cost.
