Our 2026 Oscar Predictions! | Who Will Win at the 98th Academy Awards?
About this episode
The Oscars are almost here, which means it’s time to make our predictions.
JD and Rachel are joined by resident film expert DanDan The Pieman to break down the biggest categories at the 98th Academy Awards. We debate who should win, who will win, and which nominees might pull off an upset.
Along the way we talk about the strangest Oscar nominees, the brutal emotional gauntlet of the short film categories, and the movies that might dominate this year’s ceremony.
If you’re filling out an Oscar ballot or office pool, this episode might help you make a few smart picks.
