    347: Final Predictions For The 98th Academy Awards & The OSCARS Snubs Fantasy Movie Draft

    Awards season has reached its final stretch, and we’re closing it out with a packed episode of Reel Chronicles. With the 98th Academy Awards just around the corner, we break down our final Oscar predictions across all categories, discussing which films and performances are poised to take home the gold and which races could still produce a last-minute surprise. From the heated Best Picture battle to the acting categories and below-the-line showdowns, we examine how the precursor awards, guild wins, and late momentum may shape the final results on Hollywood’s biggest night. But that’s only half the fun. In the second half of the episode, Dave, Jack, Hunter, and special guests Darren and Sean go big with our Oscar Snubs Fantasy Movie Draft, where we look across the entire 98-year history of the Academy Awards to draft the most shocking snubs ever. From legendary nomination omissions to iconic performances, groundbreaking films, and unforgettable moments that somehow never heard their name called on Oscar night. Love what you hear?
