Predicting the 95th Academy Awards, which looks good for Everything Everywhere All at Once

Which films will take home Oscars this weekend? We have our guesses.

With the 95th Academy Awards just around the corner, it’s time we roll up our sleeves and make some predictions.

While it’s impossible to really know what will win (outside of a few locked-in categories), we here at For The Win have a hunch as to what will take home the Oscar gold on Sunday.

Predicting the Oscars is kind of like predicting the Super Bowl. You can size up stats, watch film (literally) and make your best-educated guess, but it’s anyone’s game.

The Academy Awards have long defied perfection on the prediction board; you’re always more lucky to get things right than expectant to.

We’ve gone through all the non-short film categories and rounded up who we think will win. If we’re right, we’re smart and knew all along. If we’re not, blame the Academy not us!

An emotional Brendan Fraser delivered a powerful Best Actor speech at the SAG Awards

Everybody loves Brendan Fraser, and he’s now got a SAG Award to prove it.

Everybody loves Brendan Fraser, and now he’s got a Screen Actors Guild award to prove it.

The longtime actor edged Elvis star Austin Butler and The Banshees of Inisherin co-star Colin Farrell for SAG’s Best Actor honor, positioning him to possibly repeat at the Academy Awards in March.

Fraser’s on-screen turn in The Whale has earned him the best reviews of his career, and his fellow actors rewarded him handsomely for the performance on Sunday night.

Fraser became overwhelmed with emotion during his fantastic acceptance speech, one of those moments that you don’t forget anytime soon. An Oscar moment could be next.

Fraser has long been one of the warmest personalities in Hollywood and is the object of plenty of nostalgic love for his many notable performances from the ’90s and ’00s.

With Butler winning the BAFTA last weekend in the same category, it figures that Fraser and Butler will be the two vying for Best Actor next month.
