We’re at the end of it. After posting our thoughts on the Academy Award nominees for Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress, we’re here to rattle through our predictions on who will win for all the additional categories. So let’s get after it!
We’re just going to list the categories and nominees. The bolded selections are who we think will win, but if you see an asterisk, that’s our guess for a surprise upset.
Let’s get to it!
We’re almost there. Less than a week away from the Academy Awards, and just two articles to go. So we can talk about our diet the last few months watching and writing about all of these films (please do not tell our doctor, we technically are all bourbon pizza-tarians at the moment) (and no, it’s not drinking bourbon AND pizza.) (We can’t get into further details).
So after writing about the Best Picture, Actor, Actress and Supporting Actor nominations, it’s time for Best Supporting Actress.

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.
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.

“…Honestly, better than we should have done.”
~AFFotD’s Film Critic Staff
Last week, we wrote our Academy Award guide for the Best Picture nominees, listing what each film was about, who should win, and who will win. Yes, we saw every nominated Best Picture film (as well as Best Actress, Actor, Supporting Actress, and Supporting Actress films) because we are deeply unwell.
Then we took a long, long collective nap. We woke up, and the Oscars were airing in two hours. So we rushed together a half-assed rundown where we provided our predictions for the Best Actor and Best Actress categories, and a final one where we rushed through the rest of the categories with very little thought or intention.
How did we do? Not bad! We were right on 15 of the awards given, and a few of those were ones we indicated were potential winners, and like four of them were in categories we had not seen a single entry too (we may be movie weirdos but we’re not watching all the Short Live Action nominees, come on, are you kidding us?).
So we might as well do a rundown of a historic night at the Academy Awards, and go through where we nailed it, and where we done goofed.
Folks, we’ve had an afternoon. Our staff last week sat down and watched all the Oscar nominated films for the major categories. We then sat down and wrote 3,000 words about all of the Best Picture nominees, and who we think could and would win.
Then we had a party and something went wrong with our keg, or our inhibitions, because we woke up and it was just hours before the Academy Awards were set to begin. As of starting this, they will start in 70 minutes. We were able to get Best Actor/Supporting Actor and Best Actress/Supporting Actress predictions in under the wire, but we regret to inform you, there is no longer time for us to be thoughtful or even explain our guesses. Here are the rest of the categories. We’ll let you know if we have any particular thoughts, or haven’t seen a movie nominated.
Hey, hi, how are you. We’ve meticulously written a rundown of all the Best Picture of the Oscar nominations, which as we start writing this will be airing in two and a half hours, and we spent the last hour doing a rundown of the male acting categories. So let’s not waste time. WE GOT DEADLINES.
“Shit, we forgot to put quotes on the last one of these. WAIT THE OSCARS ARE TODAY?”

We posted our rundown of all the Best Picture nominees to illustrate that we’re masochists who have watched all the Oscar nominees for Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress. We then were planning on posting our rundown, and predictions, for all the other awards in three additional articles. Then we got lazy (read as, drunk) and forgot.
But the awards are in four hours so we still have time to either come off as Award geniuses, or Award FOOLS. So let’s get started with the male acting awards.
As you no doubt know, the staff here at America Fun Fact of the Day are certified sickos. We also are weirdly obsessed with the Academy Awards. It’s an illness we can’t explain. As a result, our entire staff sat down and watched every single movie nominated for Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Supporting Actress, as well as a handful of wildcard nominations.
We don’t necessarily recommend this. We saw about 20 Academy Award nominees, which by a rough estimate means we spent 50 hours watching movies that are trying to be prestigious (also Top Gun and Avatar).
Families were abandoned. Funerals were skipped. Hot Pockets were consumed en masse. But we did all this so that you can hear our arbitrary opinion of each nomination, and our predictions going into Sunday’s ceremony.
So sit back, and probably get ready to be mad at some of our rankings.
