The Academy Awards are this Sunday night. Who will have the most spectacular outfit? Who's going to win? Who's going to win your Oscars pool? We aren't a Magic 8 Ball, so we have no answers for you — but we can offer a game to keep you extra entertained throughout the show, filled with our guesses and wishes for what might happen.

We have downloadable bingo cards you can play along with, and we'll also be playing along with you Sunday night — follow our Twitter to see how we're doing.

You come to LAist because you want independent reporting and trustworthy local information. Our newsroom doesn’t answer to shareholders looking to turn a profit. Instead, we answer to you and our connected community. We are free to tell the full truth, to hold power to account without fear or favor, and to follow facts wherever they lead. Our only loyalty is to our audiences and our mission: to inform, engage, and strengthen our community.

Right now, LAist has lost $1.7M in annual funding due to Congress clawing back money already approved. The support we receive before year-end will determine how fully our newsroom can continue informing, serving, and strengthening Southern California.

If this story helped you today, please become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission. It just takes 1 minute to donate below.

Your tax-deductible donation keeps LAist independent and accessible to everyone.
