Predict the Oscars 2026

Welcome to the 2026 edition of Predict the Oscars, where you can win a prize for guessing who will win this year's Academy Awards! After the show on March 15, players who predicted correctly will earn points, with the main categories being worth more points.

Whoever scores the most points overall will receive a $50 Amazon gift card via email. If multiple players tie for the top score, they will all receive the prize, up to a maximum of five (ordered by the time of their final changes to predictions). As always, Funeratic owner Scott Hardie has entered the contest for fun, but he cannot win. In the event that an Oscar winner is falsely announced (like La La Land was for Best Picture in 2017), the contest scores will be revised to match the actual Oscars, and the outcome of the contest might change accordingly. Funeratic's host has no guarantee of uptime and can potentially go offline on the evening of the show (as happened in 2015), and there will be no alternative way to submit predictions in this event, so players are encouraged not to wait until the final few hours to enter.

Please log in or register to play.

Only one entry is allowed per person. Entries that appear to be duplicates will be deleted.
