2018 Oscar Pool

Explore

Rather than wrangle 20-some pencils this year and dust off the printer, I thought why not use Airtable to manage this year's Oscar Pool? With an Airtable form, anyone can submit their ballot from their phone or computer days in advance or right before the show. For those who still want a printed copy, a customized layout block allows for quick printing of any and all records without any added effort.

​

Unlike a standard Airtable base, this one begins with a form because I wanted to make it simple to grab a link—which you can do, too, if you want to copy it into your Airtable account and use it for your Oscar pool. The base includes the standard Grid view, so you can take a look at every submission, and a Gallery view if you prefer simplified ballot cards.

​

If you have Blocks enabled, make sure to peak at the Ballot Grid layout as well! You can print out anyone's submission in a couple of clicks and every item has a checkbox for old-fashioned grading during the show. You'll also find a countdown timer to the 2018 Oscars and a visualization of everyone's Best Picture votes—but those are just for fun.

​

That's about it! Copy the base and try it out for your Oscar party. It's dead simple and you can get everyone on board before the party, so even your fashionably late guests can participate.
