It’s almost time to hear “And the Oscar goes to…” which means Nick and Sophia will finally be sharing their Oscar predictions. Will they change before the ceremony? Only time will tell. (Yes.) Even with the beginning of the end of this awards season in sight, they start the episode by sharing their initial reactions to a film that could dominate the 97th Academy Awards: Dune: Part Two. A more in-depth episode on that is coming soon, but first they use their Mentat skills to share their Final Oscar Predictions.  As in previous years, they divide all 23 categories into groupings based on degree of difficulty: In the Bag, Toss Up (24:56), and Anybody’s Guess (41:32). They end the episode by mulling over Best Picture and answering some creative listener questions. Enjoy the ceremony on Sunday, March 10th, at 7pm ET/4pm PT!  Follow us on Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok @oscarwildpod Follow Nick @sauerkraut27 Follow Sophia @sophia_cim More content including updated nomination predictions @ oscarwild.squarespace.com Music: “The Greatest Adventure” by Jonathan Adamich
