That’s all people!
It was a historic Oscars…
Surprises have been aplenty too from Chalamet’s snub to F1 formally topped with an Oscar to the primary tie for god is aware of how lengthy.
I’ve been Dan and I’ll communicate to you subsequent time.
2026-03-16T03:23:09.596Z
Most significantly – how did yours actually do?
Briefly, it wasn’t unhealthy however wasn’t nice when it got here to my Oscar predictions.
17.5 right out of 24 classes. 72% accuracy…ehhhh.
Likewise, Jordan was a shock however should not have been as folks have been wising as much as his unimaginable profession (The Wire, Friday Evening Lights, Creed, Fruitvale Station, Black Panther et al). I’ve undoubtedly talked Chalamet down on the extent of mentioning that Jordan was deserving however I’d say he – like Chalamet – has given higher performances extra deserving of recognition.
Greatest Actor – Timothée Chalamet (WRONG – Michael B. Jordan)
Greatest Authentic Rating – Ludwig Göransson (CORRECT)
2026-03-16T03:07:44.249Z
The actual winner? Movies
Cliche as it’s to say however the actual winner was the movie trade. This can be one of many strongest years in latest historical past – actually since Barbenheimer – which truly feels prefer it’s received folks going to the cinemas once more.
Sure, Sinners might haven’t received all 16 nominations however the truth it received nominated for that many is astounding. It’s a style movie, it’s authentic property, it’s a majority black movie, it’s received rather a lot to say and it’s – above all – entertaining as hell.
2026-03-16T02:58:19.508Z
The loser(s)? Timmy
It’s a story that’s been overplayed for positive, but it surely’s as a lot his clear desperation to win in addition to the Academy not rewarding youthful actors (the youngest winner nonetheless being a 29-year-old Adrian Brody over 20 years in the past).

A enjoyable Conan parody to finish the evening
In a ultimate skit we see Conan get the ‘job of Oscars host for all times’ as he’s lead into an workplace and murdered horribly a la One Battle After One other’s Sean Penn dying.
2026-03-16T02:38:25.110Z
Greatest Image goes to…One Battle After One other!
I ought to’ve gone with the traditional knowledge as a result of One Battle After One other wins Greatest Image!
There was a second the place it felt like Sinners may’ve taken it however the safer guess received.
2026-03-16T02:35:51.162Z
An in depth look forward on the Greatest Image nominees
It’s true that there’s 10 nominees – because of the growth of the class over a decade in the past – however there’s solely two severe contenders: Sinners and One Battle After One other.
Frankenstein? Too blended reception. Possibly probably the most divisive of the Greatest Image nominees – apart from F1 – del Toro’s newest movie was perhaps a bit too del Toro for his personal good with some loving it – and Elordi receiving a stunning quantity of affection for his portrayal of the Creature – however many left feeling as chilly because the Arctic opening scene. And the Netflix of all of it doesn’t assist it both
F1? Too blockbuster-y. There was a major backlash to it taking on a spot on the checklist however there’s at all times one popcorn image for the lots – High Gun: Maverick, Avatar: The Means of Water and so on.
Marty Supreme…watch this house. This might truly be a preferred third selection within the preferential poll and if the highest two contenders cancel one another out this might sneak in. Nevertheless, dialog has died off round this masterpiece, apart from Chalamet’s efficiency, and it’s been interpreted by some corners of the web as some as a chest-thumping U-S-A movie which is a gross misinterpretation of it.
The sensible cash could be on One Battle After One other with it feeling like a traditional awards winner, a ‘beloved by the trade’ director who’s been round for many years and a well timed exploration of America at this present second wrapped in an exhilarating narrative with excellent performances.
Nevertheless, Sinners has been nominated for probably the most Oscars of ALL TIME. 16 nominations, boosted by the brand new class Greatest Casting albeit. That doesn’t imply something essentially, earlier entrance runners embrace American Hustle, The Irishman and Killers of the Flower Moon which all went away empty handed and in addition additional affirmed the Academy hates Scorsese. However Sinners is having fun with a wierd underdog standing regardless of this historic milestone as a result of it’s being pitted in opposition to the favorite on this class One Battle After One other. The trajectory of buzz and up to date awards appears to be leaning in direction of this image which is much more extraordinary contemplating how little the Academy rewards ‘style’ movies like this (the final time was del Toro’s Form of Water). Will the Oscars give Greatest Image to a movie which options loads of vampires amongst some unimaginable world constructing? Actually it’s 50/50 at this level.
2026-03-16T02:33:08.802Z
The Greatest Actress win all of us noticed coming
She’s received just about 100% of the awards this season with an emotive efficiency that tugs on the heartstrings and alongside Greatest Rating and Greatest Tune was the one protected guess you could possibly place this Oscars.
It’s an unimaginable position and stands among the many all time Greatest Actress performances. It sadly seems like the one win Hamnet will get however not less than it doesn’t go away empty handed.
2026-03-16T02:30:09.520Z
Michael B. Jordan beats Timmy!
Michael B. Jordan takes the Greatest Actor win in a transfer which is each stunning and proof that the Academy actually has it in for Timmy. That’s not to remove from Jordan’s win however of the Sinners performances it feels the least deserving.
It’s no secret that Timothée Chalamet actually desires to win an Oscar. He’s actively stated it in a approach that has rubbed some folks up the improper approach however some folks have appreciated for its honesty. He’s actually been in every single place in an omnipresent awards marketing campaign that will have elevated him above his nominees by a protracted shot but it surely’s additionally made him a straightforward goal.
His feedback in regards to the ballet and opera being dying artwork varieties might have been blown up by the clicking bait headlines however they really didn’t have an effect on how the Academy in the end determined because the voting deadline had already closed by the point they’d exploded.
Michael B. Jordan endearingly received on the Actors awards – which just like the Oscars was voted by his friends – so this set him up for the duel efficiency win at this time. It’s a showy double efficiency which, to not say it wasn’t deserved, however feels extra like a vote in opposition to Chalamet somewhat than a glowing endorsement of Jordan.

PTA wins Greatest Director!
PTA offers a somewhat alienating speech about deserving the Oscar, pretty tongue in cheek however contemplating the room feels fairly pro-Coogler you’d assume he’d play it protected.
It’s true that the Oscars like to reward established administrators for movies that perhaps aren’t as befitting of a Greatest Image win – infamously Martin Scorsese for The Departed – however as a lot as it is a factor, it’s additionally true that the Oscars has additionally did not reward established administrators in any respect – Stanley Kubrick, Alfred Hitchcock and so on.
Nevertheless, Paul Thomas Anderson was totally deserving of the Greatest Director trophy with an pressing, suspenseful and surprisingly humorous movie to indicate for it. And that’s excessive reward while you take a look at the opposite nominees in what could also be one of many strongest director lineups lately.
Actually any of them would have been deserving…but it surely appears like Sinners may nonetheless win Greatest Image in perhaps a Image/Director break up that – whereas pretty uncommon – has had latest precedent: see Ang Lee/Argo, Damien Chazelle/Moonlight, 12 Years A Slave/Alfonso Cuarón.

No to warfare and Free Palestine
Sure, Javier Bardem! He manages to get the primary overtly political message as he presents with a cry of ‘Free Palestine’.
Not less than the Oscars didn’t minimize it out just like the BAFTA editors.
I did predict initially of this weblog that Mark Ruffalo would say one thing political however I ought to’ve identified it will be Bardem if not him.

Golden performs…simply earlier than Greatest Tune
It feels a bit imply to solely characteristic two songs stay this 12 months versus the conventional 5 however truthfully the runtime is grateful for it. There’s at all times questions of why time is being made for skits and waffley speeches however you possibly can’t please all of the folks on a regular basis.

I hold utilizing the phrase ‘well-merited’ however watching the final 10 minutes of PTA’s newest movie you’d be onerous pressed to argue in opposition to this win. Managing to create probably the most stress inducing sequences of automobiles going over uneven hills is a miracle that this editor made a actuality.
The tide feels prefer it’s shifting in direction of One Battle After One other…

The Oscar-winning F1
Joking apart, it’s a straightforward goal and regardless of supposedly pissing off the movie group with its Greatest Image nomination (unjustly since you at all times want one dumb enjoyable blockbuster to attract in an viewers) it deserves a win for Greatest Sound.

Looking forward to Greatest Worldwide Characteristic
Take a look at my article about the best way to watch the Worldwide Characteristic lineup this 12 months – which in my humble opinion is the strongest we’ve ever seen – and what I consider is the apparent frontrunner.
Sentimental Worth hits all of the Oscars checklists. A movie a few movie that includes a well-known solid led by Stellan Skarsgärd and Elle Fanning giving unimaginable performances. It actually helps having Hollywood names within the worldwide class which voters is not going to be as accustomed to, and it additionally helps that this movie from Trier is a masterpiece which might rightly should take house the trophy for Norway.
It Was Simply an Accident is an extremely well timed film, in regards to the oppressive Iranian regime, and had a captivating historical past with its director having served time in jail for talking out and making movies criticising stated regime. It’s a meticulously crafted movie which blends darkish humour, suspense and actual world horror.
The Secret Agent may very well be an outlier too so who is aware of…

In a baller transfer, Sean Penn wins for One Battle After One other and doesn’t even present up!
He’s received two Oscars within the bag for Mystic River and Milk which can have acted in his favour – he now joins the three timer membership with Frances McDormand and Daniel Day Lewis.
He had a sudden surge in award wins notably after it appeared like Stellan Skarsgård could also be getting his lifetime achievement award second and a few fascinating early momentum for Jacob Elordi which can have been crushed by the damp squib which has been Wuthering Heights.

And now a musical efficiency reminding everybody of the unimaginable music montage in the course of Sinners to the stay efficiency and nominated tune ‘I Lied to You’ with Miles Caton .
It’s a little bit of a mishmash over the stage as they try to showcase all of the dance types and have some cameos from the Sinner solid in a approach which makes you realise the talent of the route and cinematography within the movie which does this seamlessly.
It’s not fairly the musical second that I’m Simply Ken was but it surely’s a welcome addition. Fortunately there’s only one extra tune – not all 5 nominated tune performances this 12 months – and it’s the one which’ll most likely win: Golden from Kpop Demon Hunters.

It’d be a Sin to offer the Oscar to anybody else
However, let’s not overlook Sinners leads with an unimaginable 16 nominations. Sixteen!
To place that in perspective that’s probably the most in Oscar historical past by not one however two nominations, albeit this features a new class Greatest Casting but it surely’s unimaginable. A movie which got here out nowhere close to the standard awards season window in direction of the top of the 12 months and about bloody vampires is the FRONTRUNNER for the Academy Awards.
Nevertheless, regardless of that and perhaps because of the unstoppable juggernaut which One Battle After One other has been most of awards season with 13 nominations, it’s additionally managed to place itself because the scrappy underdog.
