Here’s where the rubber meets the road, O watchers of awards season.
The critics’ groups have had their say and the academy has dropped its nominees. So who will win the 2026 Oscars? The guilds’ picks will trickle in until early March, but for now, bold as they are, the stalwarts of the BuzzMeter panel have stuck out their necks for their official winner predictions in 10 Oscar categories.
