The Nerds Oscar Predictions, Snubs & The Future of the Academy Awards
Episode 5
Thursday, 12 March, 2026
Episode 5 of Season 7 goes full prestige as Romi and Sean put their reputations on the line for Hollywood’s biggest night. The episode kicks off with their official picks for the Big Six — Picture, Director, Actor, Actress, and both Supporting categories — locking in predictions before the envelopes are opened to see who comes out as the true awards-season oracle.From there, the conversation zooms out: Are the Oscars still culturally relevant? The guys debate whether the ceremony has lost its mainstream pull and brainstorm ways to bring new energy back to it — from expanding nominee slots to seven contenders, to introducing long-overdue categories like Best Stunts. Is the Academy evolving with the industry… or stuck protecting tradition?They close things out with a fiery discussion on this year’s biggest snubs and the age-old controversy of the “career Oscar.” Should awards recognize the best performance of the year — or sometimes serve as a long-overdue make-good trophy? It’s thoughtful, argumentative, and just self-important enough to feel like a real Oscar panel — but with way more jokes.Ol' Nerdy Bastards (LinkTree)
