2025 Oscars: Our Final (?) Predix for the 97th Academy Awards

On this week’s podcast, Jalal Haddad joins us as we make our final (we think) predictions for the 2025 Oscars.

It’s basically pencils down time, folks. It’s time to make our final predictions for the 2025 Oscars. The Contending contributor Jalal Haddad joins us at the very last minute to review and predict all 23 categories at the 97th Academy Awards. Some categories (the supporting races, for example) seem pretty easy. Other categories (Animated Feature, Editing, and others) keep us up at night. But we all make our best educated guesses and give you recent trends that may influence your own 2025 Oscars predictions.

Here’s how you watch the 2025 Oscars.

You can check out all of The Contending’s 2025 Oscars predictions here. Check back throughout the week for updates and, of course, on Sunday night for the big ceremony.

We close the podcast, as always, with the flash forward to the media we’re most anticipating in the upcoming week. If you haven’t heard it yet, take a listen to our spin-off series, Desperate Housewives Revisited, where Joey and Clarence look back at the first season of Marc Cherry’s 2004 phenomenon.

We’re deeply appreciative for your shares, likes, and positive ratings on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.
