WE’RE BACK for a short Oscar’s preview! Hosts Jason and Kyle give their thoughts and predictions on what will win this Sunday at the 95th Academy Awards!

Please note: This was recorded the SAME DAY as we recorded our Season 3 finale (January 27th). That is to say, a lot has happened since then, including many precursor awards AND the completed watch-through of all nominees of Best Picture by me, host Kyle. Now, I COULD have released this earlier, but I thought you know, I'll hold out, watch the rest of the movies, and if I have anything else to say, I'll record an addition at the end. Well, even though I've now seen all the movies, I can't say I need to make any changes to my predictions. Best Supporting Actress is still anyone's guess, and Best Actor has maybe narrowed to being between Fraser and Butler (which, by the way, I...liked...Elvis???). If you want to know any of my thoughts as things happen on Sunday, Tweet !
