Oscar Thoughts / Predictions 2026
Time for the Academy Awards yet again!
Best Picture
Bugonia
Sinners
Train Dreams
Sentimental Value
The Secret Agent
One Battle After Another
Marty Supreme
Hamnet
Frankenstein
F1
Who Will Win: It's been a One Battle After Another sweep so I expect the same.. although Sinners could take it as its most competition
Who Should Win: Well truly it'd be Frankenstein!
Best Director
Chloé Zhao, Hamnet
Josh Safdie, Marty Supreme
Paul Thomas Anderson, One Battle After Another
Joachim Trier, Sentimental Value
Ryan Coogler, Sinners
Who Will Win: The same answer as above but moreso a PTA, a bit more, vs Coogler
Who Should Win: I'd have to go with Coogler but honestly Safdie woulda been great. (Zhao snubbed!)
Best Actor
Timothée Chalamet, Marty Supreme
Michael B. Jordan, Sinners
- Wagner Moura, The Secret Agent
Ethan Hawke, Blue Moon
Leonardo DiCaprio, One Battle After Another
Who Will Win: It's anyone's game. As of a few weeks ago I had a certain answer but now, I don't know. Much like the biggest winners a B. Jordan (it could be him) vs Chalamet race.. but it could very well be Leo DiCap, too...
Who Should Win: Chalamet without a doubt! This was the year he tried so hard, than ever. Per usual formulas with Unknown it'd have been "the one he really deserved it for.. vs, the one he got it for .." but now who knows
Best Actress:
Jessie Buckley, Hamnet
Emma Stone, Bugonia
Renate Reinsve, Sentimental Value
Kate Hudson, Song Sung Blue
Rose Byrne, If I Had Legs I’d Kick You
Who Will Win: A clear Buckley vs Byne race of the B's. It's hard to say, Byrne was winning most but then Buckley's appeared at the last minute
Who Should Win: I am team Buckley!
Best Supporting Actor
Benicio Del Toro, One Battle After Another
Stellan Skarsgård, Sentimental Value
Sean Penn, One Battle After Another
Delroy Lindo, Sinners
Jacob Elordi, Frankenstein
Who Will Win: No question a Stellan vs Sean race
Who Should Win: ELORDI PLZ.. Although this blog is behind, GDT Franken is MOTY and Elordi such a part of it.
Best Supporting Actress
Elle Fanning, Sentimental Value
Teyana Taylor, One Battle After Another
Wunmi Mosaku, Sinners
Amy Madigan, Weapons
Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas, Sentimental Value
Who Will Win: It's become a bit of a Wunmi vs , nicee, Madigan showdown.. with a Teyana as a distant third earlier in the season.
Who Should Win: Madigan all the way! Short but sweet witch.
Best Original Screenplay
Robert Kaplow, Blue Moon
Ryan Coogler, Sinners
Joachim Trier & Eskil Vogt, Sentimental Value
Ronald Bronstein & Josh Safdie, Marty Supreme
Jafar Panahi & Script Collaborators, It Was Just an Accident
Who Will Win: Here's where it continues to be Sinners vs all. Although I could see foreign Sentimental or It Accident justtt snatching it...

Clint Bentley & Greg Kwedar, Train Dreams
