Make the Oscars More Engaging
Hosting an Oscar's watch party? Sportsball's Oscar pick'em turns the ceremony into a game everyone can play. Guests make predictions on categories like Best Picture, Best Actor, and more—then watch together as results roll in. No manual scoring, no spreadsheets.
Auto-scored
We update results as the Academy announces winners. You and your guests see scores and leaderboards in real time—no work for the host.
Long shots earn more
Correct underdog picks award more jelly bean points. Bold predictions pay off, so everyone has a reason to root for surprises.
Customizable categories
Choose from 24 total categories. Include every major award or keep it to the big ones—you decide what your party plays.
Jelly Bean Scoring
Just like our NFL pick'em, the Oscar game rewards risk. Favorites pay fewer beans; long shots pay more. That keeps the leaderboard interesting and gives everyone a reason to care about every category.
How it works:
Front-runners: Fewer beans - The safe pick. They're expected to win.
Dark horses: More beans - A correct upset prediction is worth serious points.
24 Categories, Your Way
Turn on or off any of the 24 categories so your game matches your party. Go full ballot for die-hard fans, or stick to the major awards for a shorter, simpler game. Either way, setup takes minutes and scoring is automatic.
Two Ways to Play
Join our free global Oscar challenge with everyone else, or create your own private game for your party. Both use the same auto-scored, jelly bean format and 24 categories.
Create your own game — $0.99 to host
You set it up, invite friends or family, and run a private Oscar pick'em. Only the host pays $0.99; any number of players can join and play for free.
