Oscar Podcast #48: FINAL Oscar Nomination Predictions
Ok folks, get comfortable. This 48th Oscar podcast, our final Oscar predictions podcast before the nominations are announced on Tuesday the 24th is epic. 3h 25m epic. But don’t be afraid; Chris, Bryan and I tackle all categories (except the shorts, sorry shorts) with laser precision and detail, offering up potential spoilers, justifications for crazy predictions as well as wondering if too much agreement within the group means we could be dead wrong.

We know La La Land will dominate on Tuesday but who will surprise? Is Nocturnal Animals the contender that BAFTA and the Golden Globes think it is? Is Isabelle Huppert safe? What about Best Picture – will we see all nominees come from the PGA top 10 or is something lurking in the dark? Will there be eight or nine nominees? What’s the weakest link? The answer might surprise you.
After all, it’s the Oscars, anything’s possible.
