Video: 2026 Oscars Betting Odds, Picks & Predictions | Who Wins the Academy Awards?

by IBT Media Staff

The Academy Awards are the most important night in Hollywood, but who goes home with the most important 2026 Oscars & who goes home alone?

The case for Sinners (+150) to win Best Picture is strong, with a record-breaking 16 nominations, but can it overcome the favorite, One Battle After Another (-300), or Hamnet (+1500), hot off their Golden Globes win? Does three-time Best Actor nominee Timothée Chalamet (-500) finally get the golden statuette? Plus, more actor & actress awards, Best Director & Best Cinematography!

Entertainment analysts Steve Lawson & Jake Parry make their picks & predictions for the 98th Academy Awards on “Popcorn & Root Beer (S1 E37).”
