With March's Oscar ceremony in Bob Ferguson's rearview, it's time for Nick and Sophia to begin predicting the nominees for next year's Oscars! In their annual summer tradition, they share their predictions in all four acting categories, Director, and Picture. They also don't miss the opportunity to advocate for some of their favorite performances, share what they're excited to see, and wonder why they've seen a certain movie trailer so many times. Comment with your own predictions and let us know if you agree with our early hot takes!
