2026 Oscar Predictions (Best Supporting Actor)

We’re back on our bullshit. IT’S OSCAR SEASON! The one time of the year where we actually write articles instead of basically drinking and eating carbs until we nap through half the day telling ourselves we’ll write something that night but like, like, when you’re full of Four Lokos and everything bagels, you know that’s not gonna happen.

Anyway, we’ve continued our frankly unnecessary task of watching every major Oscar nominated picture, and are here for the rundown of our next category. We’ve done Best Picture, Best Actor and Best Actress, but now it’s time for Best Supporting Actor.

2026 Oscar Predictions (Best Actress)

We’ve run out of food. Living off of a Costco bulk order of Gushers and all the beef jerky the nearest BP station had in stock. But it’s all worth it to watch every Oscar nominated movie and arbitrarily guess who will win. We’ve already covered the Best Picture award and Best Actor, but now *strip club DJ voice* it’s time for the laydayyyyyyyys. Let’s look at the best Actress nominees for 2026.

2026 Oscar Predictions (Best Actor)

Every year, our staff gets a text message from an unknown number. “Assemble” it says. Then the next message says “Ugh, no not like The Avengers, that’s tacky, fuck, um, listen, just come down to the office, there is unlimited booze and a movie projector, we have to watch every major Oscar nominated film and write about them. You will only be paid in whiskey and chicken tenders.”

Of our staff of dozens, the only one who doesn’t heed the call is [Redacted]. Which, fair. He’s been through enough over the last 15 years.

Anyway, we’ve already given you our thoughts on the movies nominated for Best Picture, but we went further by watching all the movies that got nominated for the most important award – what MALE actor did the best job this year?

*screeching noise of seven chairs abruptly being dragged away from our roundtable*

Okay looks like our women staffers are taking a break.

Anyway, let’s look at the nominees.

The Newest Batch of Absurd Bowl Game Names

Back in 2018, we wrote about Absurd College Football Bowl Games. We thought bowl games had jumped the shark.

There was the Cheribundi Tart Cherry Boca Raton Bowl. The Raycom Media Camellia Bowl. Hell, now the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl feels downright quaint.

And we get it. For the past years our staff has been not posting much, being busy doing regular stuff, like, learning how to socialize again, or getting really into weird beers. But we with the drastic change to the college football playoff system, the millions of dollars in NIL deals, something we guess is called a transfer window, a lot has changed in the NCAA.

But not one thing. That’s right. Teenagers may be making millions. But you know what also makes millions? SPONSORSHIPS BAY-BEE! And so, guess what, bowl games have only gotten crazier in the last seven years.

So let’s take a look at-

2025’s Most Absurdly Titled NCAA Bowl Games

“Oh they’re cutting it close today”

~You

We really messed this up, so this will be a pretty quick run-through of acting performances. Should they win? Will they win? Let’s see! (Honestly you don’t need a FULL rundown…so…we’ll just do as much work until we end up with the major categories)

AFFotD’s 2025 Oscar Guide – Best Picture

“So this website only writes once a year now?”

~You

Another year another rushed Oscar rundown of preditions and thoughts of the Academy Award nominated films from the past year. Again we’re getting it done just under the wire.

But enough about us. Let’s look at the Best Picture nominations for the 2025 Academy Awards.

Ranking the Post-Arrested Development Careers of the Stars of Arrested Development

When Arrested Development came out in 2003, it didn’t constitute as a commercial success that you might associate with sitcoms like Friends or Fraisier or [insert another comedy that starts with F…is there a sitcom called Fuck? No? Anyway]. 

Its initial run only ran for three seasons, but received 26 Emmy Award nominations, and six wins, including two for Best Comedy Series. 

Featuring a writing staff that went on to create iconic shows of their own, and regular appearances from legends such as Ron Howard, Eliza Minnelli and Henry Winkler, the show also featured one of the best ensemble casts of all time, most of which went on to even brighter careers. 

So we decided to take the nine primary characters of Arrested Development and rank them based on their post-AD careers.

AFFotD’s 2024 Oscar Guide – All the Other Categories That Aren’t Best Picture or an Acting Category

“No we will not watch all the short live action films.”

~Our Exhausted Staff

We’ve done the work of watching every film nominated for Best Film as well as the additional movies from 2024 with nominations for the Acting Categories, and we spent a good 7,000 words doing so. That’s why, for our staff’s sanity, we’ll not be doing a nomination-by-nomination breakdown for the rest of the Oscars to be awarded this Sunday.

Instead, we’ll highlight our predictions, while offering some thoughts if we have something to say about any particular nominated film in any category.

Some of these will just be a name and a film, and our staff thanks the editors for giving them that rest.

AFFotD’s 2023 Oscar Guide – Best Acting Categories

“Why do you make us watch ALL of these movies? We’re pretty sure the Academy members don’t even do that.”

~AFFotD’s staff

After watching all ten Best Picture nominees for the 2024 Academy Awards and ranking them accordingly, we’ve continued our sicko tradition of watching all the Oscar-nominated films and giving our predictions.

We’ll soon go into all the other categories with a little less “explaining the movie” sections, but for now, having seen all the nominees for Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress, let’s dive right into our next set of predictions.

Who Should (and Probably Will) Win in the Academy Award Acting Categories
