97th Annual Academy Award Predictions

Happy Oscar Sunday, everyone!

The 97th Academy Awards are finally here. The big night is here after a fun year of films in 2024. It wasn’t the strongest year, but compared to last year, it’s hard to compete.

Making final predictions was challenging because of how the Oscar race went this year.
