Summary

For Episode 431, I am joined by Nadia Dalimonte, Josh Parham, Daniel Howat, Cody Dericks, Tom O'Brien, and Will Mavity. This is it. It's time for us to deliver our final winner predictions for the 97th Academy Awards, which will be held this Sunday, March 2nd. Tune in as we discuss all 23 categories in detail and use all of the information from this season's precursors to make the best predictions we can. We also reveal the winner of last week's poll, asking, "Which Categories Do You Think Are The Hardest To Predict For The 97th Academy Awards?" and ask this week's poll question for the last time this awards season, "Which Film Do You Think Will Be The Next Best Picture Oscar Winner?" We also answer your fan-submitted questions and give our reactions to the trailers for "Freaky Tales" and "The Actor." We will not have a show next Sunday afternoon, but we will have a post-SAG recap episode and another reactions episode for the Oscar winners following the ceremony next Sunday, all exclusive to our Patreon subscribers. We cannot thank you all enough for always listening, subscribing, and supporting us through another eventful awards season.
