HHM Selection: Oscars Predictions

Leonardo DiCaprio stars in One Battle After Another | Warner Bros.

The 98th Academy Awards aren't about "prestige" in the traditional sense anymore; they are about a massive realignment of what the Academy values. Between the historic 16-nomination record set by Sinners and the utter collapse of the Wicked sequel, this year’s race has moved past the era of predictable campaigning. We’ve looked at the data from the Golden Globes, the Critics Choice, and the major guild alignments to identify exactly where the momentum has landed before the March 15 ceremony.
