Oscar Podcast #36: FINAL Oscar Winner Predictions – The Revenant? The Big Short? Spotlight?

Published by

In the final Oscar podcast of the 2015/2016 season, our 36th, I am joined by Gold Rush Gang member Jason, Evan and Kenneth to disseminate, break down and predict all 24 Academy Awards categories in searing, biting detail. A warning, there is some messiness ahead in this 2-hour+ podcast due, possibly, to wine intake. There may or may not be some sidebar shade towards Brooklyn, but you’ll have to listen to be sure. I give this podcast to you unedited and raw. Why subvert the truth?

The first 20 minutes we take apart the Shorts so if that’s not your thing you can skip it, but any good Oscar predictor knows these are the categories that can make or break your Oscar pool, or even better, your chances of getting into next year’s Gold Rush Gang.

The majority of the podcast centers around the 10 separate battles that The Revenant and Mad Max: Fury Road will be on throughout Oscar night. Where will they split? Where do WE split?

Finally, we land on Best Picture which, for some, is still an open race. There are strong arguments to be made for the three main contenders (The Revenant, The Big Short and Spotlight) and we’ll detail them right here.

Buckle up, it’s going to be a bumpy podcast.
