I have 1 Albino Tiger Oscar and he is about 6 inches long. Should i have a bigger tank than my 33 gallon. And should i put other oscars or fish with him? (If yes what type of fish)? 
What size of tank should I have

I would go with at the very least a 70G tank with a deep sandbed and a few large rocks. Don't bother with any plants becouse he'll just dig them up. Weather or not you put other fish with him is up to you but if you are really concerned with his comfort you will get a bigger tank and probably not want to only have one fish in it , as they are semi aggressive check out this compatability chart.

I disagree, I would never keep a single (or more, of course) oscar in a 50gal tank. They're far too messy, you'd have to have awesome filtration on top of water changes every other day. I'd do a minimum of 70gal for one like suggested.
Id agree with Carsanfish. A 50g with possibly a pleco 4 company. Providing you have a powerful external filter and do a weekly 30% change with a gravel cleaner u should have no problem...
I know I am going to get shot for this but big fish need big tanks a 33 should be ok for 1 but not much of a life for these inquisitive fish also you would require really good filtration and water changes as you will be back on here asking about hole in the head this tends to occur more in poorly filtered tanks and small tank that's my opinion but as I say its not everyone's as I say it should just suffice for one but you do need to keep on-top of water changes also these fish can eat like pigs as you probably know so a larger tank would be the ans.
