Alright everyone, Oscar Sunday is quickly approaching and with it the growing anticipation to simultaneously be enthralled and disappointed by the glamour and politics of Hollywood. Well, to make it all a little more interesting we are doing Oscar Bingo again this year. A week ago we asked you guys to come up with things that might happen at the Oscars and vote for your favorites. We then collected the top 75 plausible and non redundant submissions and our friends over at www.print-bingo.com made us a Bingo game card generator that has a ton of game cards for you fine folks to download.We have about 15k cards to give away as of now, probably more like 30k total this year which is a lot but it also isn't when you realize we have over 19.5 million subscribers (2.5 mil up from last year, oi). Feel free to get however many you want for your needs but please don't waste them!Here is the gamecard generator. Just do the captcha and your card will be generated via link to a pdf. You will have to click the link for the card, don't do the captcha a bunch of times because it's not automatically downloading. That wastes cards and each one could be a winner!Check out last year's game thread for reference.Everyone is welcome to participate. On Oscar Sunday we will make an official game thread for everyone to discuss their cards and the game. The game thread will also serve as a referee zone for me and participating users to make judgement calls on the more ambiguous answers. Here are some things to know about the "competition" side of this little shindig:You can win. There will be prizes involved. Last year I sent each winner some shitty DVD's from my personal collection, this year I will be doing that again and we may have some other goodies for winners, but overall it won't be anything worth writing home about. To win, you MUST do three things.Take a photo or a screenshot of the winning card with the correct squares marked.E-mail it to an e-mail account that will be posted in the game thread.Make sure the serial number on the card is either visible or included in the e-mail along with your reddit username. This will help us verify that there's no funny business.This is the cleanest way to do it, first three valid e-mails that meets all of that criteria win. Once the winners are validated we will update OP in the game thread.This thread will be stickied until Oscar night when we make the game thread. There will also be an official Oscar discussion thread separate from the Bingo game thread.Finally, none of this ridiculousness could have been possible for such a large-scale website without print-bingo.com, and they have a message for us!"Print-Bingo.com is used by hundreds of teachers, event hosts, party organizers, and ex-pats in all corners of the globe to make both traditional and custom bingo cards through a web browser. We are happy to help Reddit with this fun, specialized, use of our website."So hey! Pick up a gamecard. Pick up 5. Play with your friends. Play alone with your cat. And let this be a reminder to all of us not to take the Oscars too seriously.Your fascist pals,The Mods via /r/movies http://bit.ly/2GNPMQd
