Welcome to a special bonus episode of Almost Classic Movies! This time, we’re diving into the 97th Academy Awards ballot and making our predictions—whether we’ve seen the films or not (because let’s be real, that’s half the fun of Oscars season).

🎭 Episode Highlights:

• Oscars Chaos & Predictions: We go category by category, throwing out hot takes, strong opinions, and absolute guesses.
• Best Picture Front-Runners: Conclave vs. Wicked—which will take the crown?
• Best Actor Battle: Will Timothée Chalamet ride the Dune wave to victory, or is there a sleeper pick?
• Wicked’s Potential Sweep: Could Wicked dominate everything from Best Costume Design to Best Visual Effects?
• Nosferatu’s Underdog Story: Will this dark and eerie remake surprise us with a win?
• Will The Academy Finally Give Demi Moore Her Flowers? We think it’s her time.
• Best Documentary Guesswork: Spoiler alert—we have no clue but we still make our picks.
• Best Sound & Score: The Dune vs. A Complete Unknown debate—what really makes an Oscar-worthy mix?
• Elton John’s Last Oscars Hurrah? Can Never Too Late bring home another trophy for the legend?
