It’s that time again! We all picked our favorites at the end of the year; the guilds have spoken; critics groups have doled out their laurels (and/or fishes); and now, nearly a quarter of the way through 2026 (Thanks, Olympics), it’s finally time for the Academy to put a bow on the movies of 2025 with the Oscars. In advance of Sunday’s telecast – hosted once again by Conan O’Brien – airing at 4:00 PDT on ABC and Hulu (thanks, East Coast), your friends at the SunBreak gathered ’round the old roundtable to make our predictions on how the awards will (and should) go when all’s said and done.
