Your host handbook
A better way to run an awards-night prediction pool.
An awards pool is simple: everyone predicts the winners, correct picks earn points, and the highest score takes the glory. The part that usually gets messy is everything around it: collecting ballots, enforcing the deadline, and adding scores while the show keeps moving.
Envelope puts the entire game in one link. If you are hosting for the first time, start with our complete awards pool guide, compare the best scoring systems, or borrow one of our tiebreaker ideas. Planning a specific night? We have step-by-step guides for Emmy pools and Oscar pools, too.

Still curious? Read the full walkthrough or jump straight into a free party.
01Is Envelope Party really free?
Yes. Starting a party, joining with friends, using the live leaderboard, and making printable ballots are free. There is no account requirement or paid tier hiding the useful parts.
02How does an awards-show pool work?
Everyone predicts the winners before the ceremony. Correct picks earn points, the leaderboard updates as results are confirmed, and the player with the highest score wins the pool.
03Is this an office Oscar pool?
It can be. Envelope Party runs the classic office Oscar pool (or an Emmy pool, a Grammys pool, whatever your group wants) as a live game instead of a paper sheet. Same bragging rights, no spreadsheet to babysit.
04Which award shows can I throw a party for?
Envelope Party supports the Emmys, Oscars, Grammys, and Golden Globes. The 2026 Emmy ballot is live with all 22 categories, and new ballots open as nominations are announced.
05Can we play for money?
Envelope Party doesn't collect, hold, or move a cent. It's a scoreboard, not a cashier. Whether your party runs on a buy-in, a bottle of wine, or nothing but bragging rights is between you and your friends; settle it however you always have. House rule around here: winner picks the next movie night.
06Do friends need an account to join?
No. Share the party link or six-letter join code. Each friend enters a display name and goes straight to the ballot. No email, password, or app download required.
07When do prediction ballots lock?
The party host sets a cutoff before the show. Once that deadline arrives, picks lock server-side so nobody can change an answer after a winner is announced.
08Can I print an awards ballot instead?
Absolutely. The free ballot generator creates a clean printable ballot you can save as a PDF or use on paper, even if you do not create a live party.
Ballots ready?
Your group chat already has opinions. Give them a scoreboard.
Throw an awards party, share one link, and settle every prediction live. Free from the first pick to the final envelope.
