Ok Movie fans, Here are my final predictions on who is going to win at the Academy Awards on 03/15/2026. I’m only listing who I think will win in each category. Im not posting who I want to win, I’m only picking who I think will win the gold statue. This was tough to do and I most likely will be completely wrong with my predictions and I am OK with that. This is one Oscars where I really have absoluetely no clue on how members of the Academy are going to vote. I should have written this earlier but I was sick last week and didn’t really want to. There will be a live recording of Cinema Recall Podcast(Subscribe to our YouTube channel) during the Oscars where I will take a shot for every category I get wrong.

Winner- One Battle After Another ( Read my full written Review)
(Look it could very much go to Sinners and if so I wil not be at all upset. It is a good movie and the cast and crew all did a great job, but One Battle after Another just feels like a message to stand up and fight against the people who want to do wrong feels more relevant and important.)
