Update: Looking for the 2013 Oscar bingo and ballot? Get it right here.
Hosting an Oscars party on Feb. 26? I've made up 20 different Oscar bingo cards you can print out, along with a matching ballot for guessing the Academy Award winners. And like every year, a big disclaimer for the game: it might be possible to win ten minutes into the telecast, or maybe there won't be any winners at all. Who knows? But based on personal experience, I can say it's really fun to play.
A bingo refresher: The first person to mark off five squares in a line wins. It could be a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal line, and the center square counts as a freebie.
To keep the PDF file sizes smaller, I've split the bingo set into two files of ten pages each. Save a file to your computer, open it in Adobe Reader, and print the number of pages you need at 100% size.
Download the first set of 10 cards.
Download the second set of 10 cards.
Download the ballot.
Bloggers, like you: Generous, creative, fun, and great. Thank you.

ReplyDeleteI snagged these from you last year and had so much fun, I had to come back for more!

ReplyDeleteThank you thank you thank you! I used this last year, too, and it was such a hit. You are my best!
ReplyDeleteThese are fabulous-used them last year and it saved me hours of time trying to assemble a trivia game- everyone liked this better ! We used thm with teams at our party. Question-does anyone know best link to look up winners as they accumulate or right after ceremony ends? Keeping track reduces my drinking time!!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean! Good question... there must be somewhere, right?
ReplyDeleteThis is exactly what I was looking for! Thanks so much, Jessica!
ReplyDeleteThese are fantastic, thank you!!
ReplyDeleteThanks! We love to play Oscar bingo and I love that the items are current for 2012!
ReplyDeleteThis will be fun - thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteJust what I was looking for! Thank you for your time in developing the Bingo Cards. Bound to be a big hit at our party this year. Cheers!

ReplyDeleteSusie, I'm not sure what the trouble would be. The bingo files are a little larger; maybe wait a little longer for your computer to download them?
Thank you sooooo much! :) Now I can say my Oscar party is complete! Thank you for being so generous and kind. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you. You make my life so much eaiser! <3
ReplyDeleteThank you! I'm upgrading my party this year to include your bingo cards. I'm sure it will be a hit. :)

ReplyDeleteAm so glad I found your site. I plan to visit frequently!
Thank you for taking the time to create and share these. Just what I needed to add more fun for Oscar Sunday.

ReplyDeleteSO much fun THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
ReplyDeleteThis bingo is AMAZING!!! Thank you so so much! You are hilarious on these. Your blog is great as well.. you've definitely gained a loyal reader in me from here on out thank you again! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for these! They are awesome. Our family will have lots of fun with the bingo cards.
ReplyDeletePlanning on using these tonight! I love the Oscars, but these just add a great extra "oomph" to the night <3 Thank you for posting these =]
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for making these! As there wasn't any sports on tonight I convinced my family to play along with your bingo cards. Despite not having seen most of the films it was sooooo much fun. It was a real interactive family night. I hope you do this again for next year's Oscars's.
ReplyDeleteMy friend and I played. We each had 5 cards. It was a blast! We were fascinated how you knew who the presenters were. Except Halle Berry, what happened with her?
ReplyDeleteLast night I heard she was supposed to present with Tom Hanks, but was a last-minute drop out. Something about a broken foot bothering her:

Used both your BINGO cards and Ballots for our Oscar Party last night with my girlfriends and we had SO much fun with them - we were on the edge of our seats till the last winner - waiting for them to tell their kids to go to bed and for the dog to take the stage! Lots of laughs and fun! Thanks for doing this!! I hope you do it next year - because this worked out sooo well!! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteYay! Glad you had a great time! And it's a tradition, so I'll definitely make more next year!
ReplyDeleteGreat Oscars bingo cards! I printed out a batch of them for a party last night, and everyone had a ball checking of the particular moments indicated on the cards. We went for a full card bingo, to make the fun last all show long. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteJust had to comment again to say this bingo totally made our party! We had about 15 people and I can't even tell you how awesome it was! The ones who wern't so interested in the actual awards loved it because it gave them something to root for during the show and keep everyone entertained and laughing the whole time. I just can't thank you enough :)
ReplyDeleteJust wanted you to know we really enjoyed this last night. Thanks so much for giving it to us!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the Oscar ballots and bingo! We used them at our family Oscar party last night. So much fun. My Aunt was so happy that I sent the PDF's to her so she didn't have to track down some tacky ones! Yours are so professional and nicely done. How did you know there would be a dog on stage? Weird.
ReplyDeleteHi Jessica,
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to let you know that we used the bingo cards all the way over here in Australia. LOVED IT!!
Thankyou so much for sharing it with us freely.

Hello! These ballots and bingo cards are great! I was wondering if you had some blank ones or an editable copy that I could use to make some for the 2013 Oscars. What a great idea to make them!!
ReplyDeleteHi! I don't have blank templates, but I'll be making the 2013 version soon.
ReplyDeleteWhat is a vcf file? I signed up for the list to get to get the 2013 version but all my mac seems to recognize is a contact card for our address book.
ReplyDeleteHi Carrie,
ReplyDeleteThat's just an address book file that Mail Chimp, my email service, automatically adds. I'll be sending out the email with the bingo files later today to everyone on the mailing list.
