As the Academy Awards approach, predictions about who will win Hollywood’s biggest prizes are everywhere. Critics, reporters, and film fans are all trying to guess which films and performances will take home trophies on Sunday night.
But sometimes the most interesting predictions come directly from people who are already standing near the action. With red carpet preparations underway in Hollywood, one creator recently shared their own picks while filming from the area where the ceremony will soon take place.
Predictions From the Red Carpet Before the Ceremony

The Final Days Before Oscar Night
With the Academy Awards only days away, Hollywood is entering its busiest period of awards season.
Crews are completing the red carpet setup outside the Dolby Theatre while media outlets prepare for hours of coverage leading up to the ceremony. Reporters, photographers, and fans are already gathering in the area, hoping to capture the atmosphere before the show begins.
During this time, predictions become even more common as analysts and viewers attempt to interpret signals from earlier awards shows.
Why This Year’s Predictions Are So Divided
One reason the 2026 Oscars have been so difficult to predict is that different films have gained momentum at different points in the season.
Instead of a single movie dominating every awards ceremony, recognition has been spread across multiple performances and productions. That kind of split can make the final results far less certain.
When Academy voters have several strong options to choose from, even small differences in support can determine who wins.
Fans Are Making Their Own Oscar Picks
In the comments under the video, viewers quickly began sharing their own predictions for Sunday night.
Some commenters agreed with the creator’s picks, while others suggested different actors or films they believe could win. The discussion shows just how divided opinions are heading into the ceremony.
For now, the predictions continue.
But when the envelopes are finally opened at the Academy Awards, the answers everyone is debating will finally be revealed.
