Keep a live score. With Scriptation’s 2026 Oscar Ballot PDF, you can mark the winners in real time, without needing to worry about marking the wrong paper ballot. You can easily toggle between the OFFICIAL WINNERS ballot and your own – or keep them in separate custom layers, because you have it like that.

Have a second place prize. It’s hard enough to get Best Documentary Short right, but if someone does? They shouldn’t leave empty handed.

Install a tiebreaker (ahead of time). Whether it’s length of Conan O’Brien’s monologue, number of winners who thank their ‘team’, or first cast member of Marty Supreme to be shown on camera, make it something you can easily identify.

DON’T:

Shame losers. It’s an honor just to pick among those who are nominated! Some Oscar Pools have dummy prizes – where the person with the least points also wins – which keeps everyone in the game for the whole ceremony.

Weight categories. Your participants probably don’t know the difference between Best Sound and Best Sound Editing, so don’t make them pretend to.

Allow multiple entries by the same person. One contestant, one 2026 Oscar ballot PDF. Just because it’s paperless doesn’t mean your cousin Dmitri gets to test their statistical analysis.
