Episode 537: 2026 Oscar Predictions

With the 98th Academy Awards coming up, it’s time, once again, for Baconsale to describe the various nominees since people haven’t seen most of these films (including most of us). Joel, Kent, and Zack are also going to be making their predictions about who is going to win each category, but this year, there’s a twist. After one person picks their winner, the others can’t choose the same one. And the choosing order will be randomized each round. It’s organized chaos as we discuss donkeys, get confused by the Norwegian language, and only laugh at Kent’s jokes. And with a customized prize based on the Best Picture winner, the stakes have never been higher. Will One Battle After Another come off victorious? Will F1 be ? Will Hamnet suffer another heartbreaking loss? Will Marty reign Supreme? Can Frankenstein pull itself together? Will Bugonia ascend? Will Sentimental Value tug at the heartstrings of the voters? Or is Hollywood just a bunch of Sinners? Press play to hear our thoughts in a higher register. Also, visit Baconsale.com to fill out our official 2026 Oscars ballot and enter to win a prize!
