US EditionThe Tightest Race in Years: Predictions for the 98th Academy Awards
Megan Camponovo highlights a tight race with frontrunners like Paul Thomas Anderson and Michael B. Jordan, reflecting 2025's strong theatrical film year.
- Predicting winners for the 98th Academy Awards, Megan Camponovo published category-by-category predictions this Sunday.
- Precursor awards and a late controversy shifted frontrunner odds, including Chalamet's BAFTA loss and Michael B. Jordan's Actor Awards victory, making the race unusually tight.
- Predicting winners across acting and directing categories, Camponovo names Paul Thomas Anderson for One Battle After Another, and Sean Penn as the Best Supporting Actor frontrunner, based on precursor momentum.
- The ceremony, hosted by Conan O'Brien, begins at 7 p.m. ET, broadcast live on ABC and Hulu, with wins possibly marking career milestones like PTA's first Oscar or Penn tying a record.
- With 11 record-shared categories between two films, Camponovo predicts the correlation between Best Picture and screenplay, and that Francine Maisler wins Best Casting.
