The Long Take Review

Final Oscar Predictions: Part Two


Listen Later

Hollywood’s biggest night is only days away, this Sunday, March 10. The ceremony will air live on ABC at 4PT/7ET. Voting has closed. All the precursors have been awarded. It’s time to place your bets and shoot your shot!

Need some help with your office Oscar pool? Want to be more informed at the party you’ve been invited to? We at The Long Take Review are here to help. Across two episodes, we will share our final predictions in each category, while comparing those predictions to which nominees we personally think should win.

In this episode of The Long Take Review, P.T., Antonio, and I take on 12 of the 23 categories: Actress, Supporting Actor, Original Screenplay, Makeup and Hairstyling, Costume Design, Production Design, Visual Effects, Sound, Film Editing, Cinematography, Original Song, and Best Picture. P.T. is quick with stats and the history of past winners, Jen proposes her grand unifying theory of this year’s winners, and Antonio reminds us that sometimes what’s actually good about these movies matters too. We make a crack(pot?) prognosticating team.

Want to predict alongside us? We’ve made our own ballot that listeners can use to test their own skills Sunday night. You can download it using the link below and print copies for your own Oscar party. After you’ve filled it out, you can share a photo with us on Instagram and Threads using #ltrpod.

You can listen to The Long Take Review on Substack, Spotify, Apple, YouTube, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Note: We use the terms “above the line” and “below the line” throughout the episode. “Above the line” typically refers to categories with more recognizable people associated with them: actors, writers, and directors. “Below the line,” in contrast, includes all the technical artists, designers, and musicians in more technical or craft categories. The phrases themselves originated from film budgets that typically use a line in the top sheet to separate the costs incurred by these two groups.
