Oscar ballot and oscar bingo 2018

Oscar bingo 2018 is ready to print

Oscar bingo 2018 is finished! Every year I send out the free printable PDF to thousands of people who have signed up to receive it by email. It’s hard to believe it’s my 10th year of making bingo for the Academy Awards. It started as a lark, became a tradition, and at some point was even featured on national TV. (There’s a matching 2018 Oscar ballot posted in my shop, too, if you like party games and coordinating designs.) Grab bingo here:

Kelly Ripa thinks Oscar bingo is amazeballs. Michael Strahan thinks it’s ok.

How to play Oscar bingo:
The first player to cross off five squares in a line wins. It could be a vertical, horizontal, or diagonal line. The center doesn’t have a free square, so you’ll just have to work a little harder.

Printing:
The printable PDF file has 20 different pages. I arrange each card by hand. The goal is to make getting a bingo possible—but hopefully not too soon. Save the file to your computer and print out the number of pages you need at 100% size.

The file is black and white so it works on any printer. Use colored paper to match your party theme if you like. I especially like this metallic gold paper for laser printers. Ballpoints and Sharpies work for writing on it.

Using it at your Academy Awards party:
Gift cards, movie candy, or mini champagne bottles make great prizes to give at an Oscar party with real-life friends. Or play with long-distance pals over social media. (I’m @howaboutorange on Instagram and Twitter, #haobingo).

Annual fallibility disclaimer:
Someone might get a bingo ten minutes into the Oscars telecast, or maybe your party won’t have a winner at all because my psychic powers have failed this year. If only I’d added “wrong Best Picture winner announced” last year. It could have been epic.

A matching Oscars ballot is available:
My shop has an Oscars ballot with point system that matches the bingo design. Guests can fill this out while they’re waiting for the show to start. Grab it here. Have fun!
