Awards Party Games
Keep your guests off their phones and focused on the party with prediction ballots to fill out before the awards begin, with fabulous prizes for the winners! Your movie buff pals will have a great time seeing how their best guesses align with the actual awards. For prizes, think about something movie related like movie ticket gift certificates or gift cards for amazon or itunes, where they can buy their favorite award-winning movie. Another fun way to keep people paying attention during the awards ceremony is awards show bingo. Find a free PDF online (like this one from 2017) in the weeks leading up to the broadcast, or if you’re feeling clever, create your own! Be sure to include classic awards show moments like “orchestra interrupts speech” and “pan to awkward audience member.” Awards party bingo cards keeps people watching the awards ceremony carefully, as well as interacting with one another as they play the game. #winwin
