Soundside's 2026 Oscars Preview!
The time has finally come: the glitz, the glamor, the many prediction market bets you can place about who will have the most glitz and glamor - The Oscars are this Sunday.
The Academy is expected to hand some sparkly hardware to an auteur director with an expansive vision and biting political critique.
The question is, will it be Ryan Coogler for his historic, lyrical vampire story, Sinners?
Or... Will it be Paul Thomas Anderson, the film bro favorite with a sprawling political thriller about resisting fascism – One Battle After Another?
Sorry to F1 stans but THAT is the race to watch…
