Oscar Pool

Doing an Oscar pool makes the evening a lot more fun – it's the only way to get your guests excited about awards like "Best Sound Editing." 

Doing a pool is easy! Just go online to www.oscar.com and print up lists of all the categories and nominees. While you and your friends are watching the red carpet interviews, everyone has to check off who they think will win in each category. Then, each guest puts a small amount of money into the pool (we suggest $5), and whoever has the most correct predictions wins the money.
