Welcome to the first purgatory of awards season: the period after fall festivals have ended and before the first set of major nominations and awards have been announced (except for the Gotham Film Awards nominations which came out last week). Since Sophia and Nick haven’t shared their Oscar predictions on the show since June and collectively they’ve seen most of the remaining 2025 releases, they figured it’s time to share their updated picks on air. Remember, you can always find them including more categories here! Listen to find out how they think Picture, Director, and all Acting categories will shake out.
