The Vern’s Almost Accurate Oscar Winner Predictions 2026 (For Movies Released in 2025)

 

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.
