2026 Oscars Best Picture Predictions
Variety Awards Circuit section is the home for all awards news and related content throughout the year, featuring the following: the official predictions for the upcoming Oscars, Emmys, Grammys and Tony Awards ceremonies, curated by Variety senior awards editor Clayton Davis. The prediction pages reflect the current standings in the race and do not reflect personal preferences for any individual contender. As other formal (and informal) polls suggest, competitions are fluid and subject to change based on buzz and events. Predictions are updated every Thursday. More from Variety 'Sinners' Producer Says Costumes Were Purchased From Marvel's 'Blade' Reboot That 'Ended Up Not Shooting': They Had a 'Warehouse Full of Period-Appropriate Clothes' Brad Pitt Says His 'Ford v Ferrari' Movie With Tom Cruise Got Axed After Cruise Found Out He 'Would Not Be Driving Much in the Movie' Brad Pitt Says Young Actors 'Get Caught Up' in the Pressure to 'Have a Superhero' or 'Have a Franchise' and Tells Them: 'Don't! Don't! They'll Die' Oscars Best Picture Commentary (Updated June 30, 2025): It's always debatable when the official starting gun of Oscar season truly goes off. Is it Cannes when the first half of the year wraps up? Or does it begin with the fall trifecta of Venice, Telluride and Toronto, where world-class cinematic endeavors often make their debut? Regardless, it's time to take the first look at what promises to be a year filled with promising projects from Oscar-winning auteurs, rising visionaries, and, undoubtedly, a few surprise contenders along the way. While we're still more than six months away from nominations, and most of the year's buzziest films haven't released so much as a teaser trailer, Variety's first best picture predictions offer a snapshot of what could define the season — and what may prove to be red herrings. Ask anyone in the know what they've heard is 'the one,' and you'll likely get the same response from every studio: 'It's one of the best movies I've ever seen,' or 'I'd be shocked if it doesn't win. It's that good.' Studios are not known for hyperbole, right? Nonetheless, leading these very early predictions is 'Hamnet' from Focus Features and Oscar-winning 'Nomadland' director Chloé Zhao. A prestige drama produced by Pippa Harris, Liza Marshall, Sam Mendes and Steven Spielberg, it headlines Focus' robust slate. The studio also features another top-tier contender with 'Bugonia,' the highly anticipated project from Yorgos Lanthimos. For those keeping score: If Emma Stone is producing, and/or Lanthimos didn't write it, that's usually a sign it's a major awards contender (see: 'Poor Things' and 'The Favourite'). Then there's 'Sentimental Value,' Neon's high-profile acquisition that won the Grand Prix at this year's Cannes Film Festival. Directed by Joachim Trier and produced by Maria Ekerhovd and Andrew Berentsen Ottmar, the film puts Neon back in the conversation following last year's dominant run with 'Anora.' Neon CEO Tom Quinn appeared to be on a buying spree in the south of France, picking up multiple contenders, including Palme d'Or winner 'It Was Just an Accident' from Jafar Panahi, Jury Prize winner 'Sirāt' from Oliver Laxe and 'The Secret Agent' from Best Director winner Kleber Mendonça Filho. It's safe to say that Neon is gearing up for a multi-title campaign, joined by Netflix and Focus Features, which boast the most formidable slates of any studio this season. Ironically, neither Netflix nor Focus has ever won best picture — despite numerous nominations — and both will be pushing hard to change that narrative. Netflix's lineup includes 'Jay Kelly' from Noah Baumbach and Guillermo del Toro's 'Frankenstein,' both of which rank in the early top 10. If either film lands with critics and voters — or better yet, both — the streamer could find a pathway to clinch the elusive top prize. Additional titles include Kathryn Bigelow's long-awaited 'A House of Dynamite' and Richard Linklater's 'Nouvelle Vague,' which Netflix acquired out of Cannes and hopes will be France's submission for best international feature. Universal Pictures is putting its chips on 'Wicked: For Good,' the second installment of Jon M. Chu's musical adaptation, produced by Marc Platt. It hopes to achieve what few recent musicals have managed — not just awards attention, but a real shot at best picture, something that hasn't happened since 'Chicago' (2002). 20th Century Studios has 'Deliver Me From Nowhere,' featuring buzzy performances from Jeremy Allen White and Jeremy Strong, as well as a compelling narrative that industry voters may gravitate toward. Meanwhile, A24 returns with Dwayne Johnson and Benny Safdie's 'The Smashing Machine,' a gritty, character-driven sports drama. Also on deck: Josh Safdie's 'Marty Supreme,' starring Timothée Chalamet; David Lowery's long-awaited 'Mother Mary,' with Anne Hathaway and Michaela Coel; and David Freyne's 'Eternity,' featuring Miles Teller and Elizabeth Olsen, a possible under-the-radar breakout. While most frontrunners remain unseen, two early-year releases have already staked a claim: Ryan Coogler's genre-bending 'Sinners' and Joseph Kosinski's sleek racing drama 'F1.' Both films delivered strong box office results and critical acclaim. It's important to remember that this is just the beginning. With more than 100 titles still to be unveiled — including many marked 'U.S. Acquisition TBD' — and the fall festival gauntlet still to come, anything can happen. For now, the field is taking shape, contenders are stirring, and the summer heat is reaching record highs. Let the season begin. NOTE: All titles, release dates, studios and listed and credited producers are subject to change.

5 shows like 'Duster' to watch after the season 1 finale
Created by science-fiction wunderkind (well, depending on who you ask) J.J. Abrams, "Duster" just wrapped up its first season on HBO Max with a banger of a finale that left a lot of room for more story, if the streaming service orders season 2. The crime thriller is an entertaining, action-packed ride that stars Josh Holloway as Jim Ellis, a getaway driver in 1970s Southwest America who gets pulled into a risky alliance with ambitious FBI agent Nina Hayes (Rachel Hilson). Her target: his boss Ezra Saxton (Keith David), the untouchable head of a sprawling criminal enterprise. Filled with tons of action and good old-fashioned detective work, "Duster" made for an exciting genre entry. While you wait to hear about season 2, here are some other great shows like "Duster" to watch next. Set against the same 1970s Southwestern backdrop as "Duster," "Dark Winds" is another great crime drama to sink your teeth into. It focuses on three officers of the Navajo Tribal Police in their efforts to keep the peace in a community that has been thoroughly neglected by the U.S. government, to the extent that they are beginning to see the rise of extremist groups. Based on a novel series by Tony Hillerman, "Dark Winds" cultivates a unique atmosphere that makes it a perfect watch for fans of psychological thrillers. AMC has aired three seasons, and a fourth season has been ordered. Watch seasons 1-2 on Netflix and all 3 seasons on AMC Plus We love a crime drama with a no-nonsense police woman desperately trying to take down the bad guys in her community. While Nina attempts to bust the leader of a local crime syndicate in "Duster," Mare (Kate Winslet) in Mare of Easttown is committed to investigating the murder of a local teen. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. And there's no easy way to say this, but Mare's been going through a lot as we start off the show. She's recently divorced, her son died by suicide, she's embroiled in a custody battle with her late son's girlfriend for custody of her grandson, and public confidence in her abilities as a detective is at an all-time low, since another girl from their community has been missing for a year. And yet, Mare perseveres. With a stunning lead performance from Winslet, "Mare of Easttown" is an all-time great limited series. Watch on HBO Max Although "Godfather of Harlem," as the name suggests, takes place in New York City, some 3,000 miles away from the setting of "Duster," it features a similar crime lord as we see in Keith David's Saxton. Based on a true story, it stars Forest Whitaker as Bumpy Johnson, who, after serving 10 years in prison, returns home to Harlem in the early 1960s and goes toe-to-toe against the Italian mob to regain control of his old neighborhood. "Godfather of Harlem" received positive reviews from critics and ran for four seasons on MGM Plus. The fact that it was on this network rather than one with a bit more cachet among viewers is likely the cause of its lack of name recognition, but rest assured, it's a great watch. Watch on MGM Plus and seasons 1-3 on Hulu If you had told us 20 years ago that one of the best ever crime dramas on television would star Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey, we wouldn't have believed you. And yet here we are. The noirish, downbeat "True Detective" is a classic in its genre, revolving around two Louisiana policemen returning to a murder case that they had initially investigated 17 years earlier. With strong performances from both Harrelson and McConaughey, a moody production design, and a thoroughly compelling narrative, the first season of "True Detective" was one for the books. Although the anthology series couldn't live up to its legacy in later seasons, it still deserves credit for reinvigorating the genre on television. Watch on HBO Max When we look at crime dramas, nine times out of ten, they're tied up in some kind of drug trafficking situation. After all, this isn't the Old West, and no one's out here robbing stagecoaches anymore. That's certainly the case in "Hotel Cocaine," a stylish throwback to 1970s Miami, where cocaine was king. It stars Danny Pino as Roman Compte, a Cuban immigrant who runs the Mutiny Hotel, an establishment known for being a revolving door of drug lords, CIA operatives, and politicians. But Compte winds up in over his head when he's courted by both his family in the drug world and government agents who want him to work as a double agent. The guy's just trying to run a hotel, you know? Watch on MGM Plus

AEW CEO Tony Khan explains how he's balancing streaming, cable TV, and social media to lure new wrestling fans
The pay-TV bundle is dying a long, slow death, and streaming is the prime suspect. Media analysts sometimes blame content providers for cannibalizing the cable bundle and accelerating its collapse by building streaming services that give consumers direct access to once-exclusive content. But for All Elite Wrestling, this hasn't been the case. AEW started simulcasting on HBO Max in January, just as rival WWE's "Raw" event on Monday nights moved exclusively to Netflix. The move has corresponded with a rebound in AEW's cable ratings in that span from their lows late last year. Through the second quarter, AEW's audience on traditional TV has grown 25% for "Collision" on TNT on Saturdays and 6.5% for "Dynamite" on TBS on Wednesdays, compared to the fourth quarter of 2024, according to Nielsen data. And those figures don't include viewership on HBO Max, which isn't public. Notably, AEW's cable viewership rose even more this year in the 25- to 54-year-old cohort that advertisers love, even as a streaming alternative emerged. All of this growth came as pay TV continued to wither, which affected sports leagues like the NHL and NBA. That has AEW founder and CEO Tony Khan especially fired up. "We've been picking up traction in these key demos," Khan told Business Insider. Still, he said that among 18- to 24-year-olds, "a lot of the growth is on streaming." While ratings are trending higher, AEW is still clawing its way back out of a slump. Viewership for "Collision" and "Dynamite" was down 9% and 12%, respectively, year over year. AEW has been locked in a battle with the category's behemoth, WWE, which previously poached two of its biggest stars: Cody Rhodes and CM Punk. Khan, a lifelong wrestling fan, spoke with BI about how streaming has jump-started AEW's growth and why he's not sweating the uncertainty surrounding the spinoff at Warner Bros. Discovery — his most valuable business partner. AEW everywhere, all at once In this cutthroat, crowded media landscape, Khan's game plan is for AEW to be everywhere — from in-person events, to traditional TV, to streaming, to social media, to YouTube. But from a monetization standpoint, not all platforms are equally valuable. AEW's most lucrative businesses are in-person events and pay-per-view events, where it's paid directly, though Khan said its backbone is its $185 million media deal with WBD across TBS, TNT, and HBO Max. "The lifeblood of AEW, really, is the partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery," Khan said. Social media and YouTube serve a different role: generating buzz and bringing in new viewers. AEW has to be where its fans are, though there's a risk that showing highlights for free will train audiences to follow the action in short form, instead of watching full matches on TV or in person. However, Khan thinks highlights on TikTok and YouTube drive higher demand for TV and events instead of eroding it — similar to how streaming matches coincided with a cable ratings bump. "People want to watch the full event in its entirety, but also consume highlights on digital," Khan said. "I think we found a great balance in that, and also offering access to a lot of the great classic matches in the AEW library to the fans has helped us drive a lot of viewership, as well." AEW must thread the needle between maximizing reach and ensuring that live matches and pay-per-view events "feel special," as Khan put it. That means giving enough to lure casual fans and newcomers to TBS, TNT, and HBO Max, without giving so much that they don't watch live. AEW streams pre- and post-shows live on YouTube for big matches. But some of AEW's rivals are going a step further by experimenting with livestreaming marquee events on YouTube, for free. WWE streamed its "Worlds Collide" event live on the platform in early June, and the NFL is hosting a regular-season game live on YouTube in September. As of now, Khan isn't following suit. The AEW CEO said he's firmly committed to TBS, TNT, and HBO Max, no matter what's happening at their parent company. Not splitting hairs WBD announced a long-awaited spinoff last month that will pull HBO Max away from TBS and TNT. Khan said the split shouldn't affect AEW, which reached a media deal with WBD last fall. "We have a great partnership with both sides," Khan said, adding that AEW is "very well entrenched" across the forthcoming Streaming & Studios and Global Networks companies. WBD's media rights deal with AEW is unaffected by the split, so HBO Max will continue to stream matches that air live on TBS and TNT. Regardless, a top media analyst thinks sports leagues like AEW should brainstorm alternatives for their next deals in light of the spinoff. "Without a broadcast network or a streaming platform (we are not counting Discovery+), it is hard to imagine sports leagues being excited to work with GLN [Global Linear Networks] going forward, unless they have no choice," Lightshed's Rich Greenfield wrote in a mid-June note. AEW has seen firsthand how HBO Max can effectively complement TBS and TNT. Once they belong to separate companies, that symbiosis could disappear. And while AEW could theoretically re-up with TNT Sports and find a separate streaming deal, Greenfield questioned that logic. "GLN could license its sports streaming rights to third-parties (assuming contracts allow it)" Greenfield wrote. "But then why would a sports rights holder not just choose a vertically-integrated platform to begin with?" Other analysts are less bearish, including Robert Fishman of MoffettNathanson. He wrote last month that "sports remains a key pillar to support affiliate fee stability in the years ahead" for the Global Networks business that will house TBS and TNT. Instead of wondering what the future holds for WBD's assets, Khan is focused on the present. The 100th episode of "Collision" airs Saturday night, and viewers can tune in on TNT — or Max.
