2023 Oscars Bingo

Can you believe it’s already time to get parties prepped for this year’s big night? I’ll be the first one to admit that I haven’t seen all of the best picture nominees this but I have seen a handful of them and the year did not disappoint in movies!

Even if you haven’t seen the movies on the bingo cards that doesn’t mean you can’t play. That’s the best part about this Oscars bingo game!

All you need is the award show and the free printable Oscar bingo card template that I’m sharing with you in this post!

I love watching the Oscars either on my own, with my family, or with girlfriends who come over! We play bingo, vote for our favorite winners (get printable 2023 Oscar ballots here) and talk about some of these fun Oscar trivia questions!

This year we’re going low key but if you’re hosting an Oscar party, make sure to check out these Oscar party ideas! They’re perfect for this year’s big night and the perfect addition to an Oscar party!

I created these Oscar bingo cards specifically for this year’s big event with the nominees from all of the categories that will be announced in the main Academy Awards. This does not include all of the smaller categories that will be handed out and announced at different times.

How to Play Oscar Bingo

Generally the game works like any other bingo game – you are trying to get five in a row horizontal, vertical, or diagonally first to get a bingo. Everyone gets one card plus some markers to cover things up as they go!

The first person to get a bingo on their card wins! You can either play just the first player to bingo wins or keep going for however many bingos you want.

Where this game differs slightly from other games is that instead of pulling names or numbers out of a hat at random to determine a winner like you do with say this Christmas bingo game, you use the Oscars award show to determine what to cover!

Three Options for Covering Spaces

There are three different ways you can play this printable Oscar bingo game for some great Oscar bingo fun! There’s no wrong way to play, but here are three options – just make sure all of the players know how the game works!

Decide which way you want to play and tell your guests before they choose their cards for the game!

1 – See or Hear

The first way to play is to cover up spaces when the celebrity or movie is mentioned/shown on camera.

This is the easiest version and will get spaces covered the fastest because movies are mentioned and shown way more often than people actually win or talk about the nominations.

2 – Award Only

Another option is to have people only cover up the space when a celebrity or movie is actually mentioned as part of an awards nomination – e.g., the nominees for Best Picture are XYZ.

3 – Winner Winner

Finally, the most challenging option is to have people only cover up the spaces when that celebrity or movie actually wins an Oscar.

If you’re doing this version of the game, make sure people know ahead of time so they can choose their card based on who they think is going to win (it usually helps if you watched the Golden Globes!). It definitely makes things trickier and more fun!

One caveat to version #3 – it’s possible that no one will bingo depending on who wins. If that’s the case, figure out how you’re going to determine a winner or just put all the cards in a bowl and pull out a random winner at the end of the night.

Oscars Bingo Prize Ideas

Don’t forget to get Oscar themed prizes for your winners! These are some of the things that people have loved most in the past when we’ve played. You could even do a combination of say a gold statue with a gift card!

And while prizes definitely aren’t necessary, they’re a fun way to make your Oscars night even better!

• Gold Oscar statues
• Movie Night Gift Basket
• The Complete Unofficial History of the Academy Awards
• Gourmet Popcorn
• Fandango Gift Cards
• Treats in an Oscar night bag like this one

Another fun way to do prizes is to do things that go with prizes that go along with the movies of the year such as:

• Black Panther tumbler
• Toy train set (for the Fabelmans)
• Avatar Coffee Table book
• Batman socks
• Top Gun Maverick mug
