Predictions for Best Picture at the upcoming Oscars are led by "One Battle After Another" and "Sinners," with "Sinners" potentially sweeping Oscars 2026: Who will win, who should win, and who shoulda had a look-in | The Independent.
"One Battle After Another" is considered a safer, more traditional pick, while "Sinners" is the edgier, more critically acclaimed choice. This sets up a classic Oscars showdown between popular appeal and artistic merit. The Independent suggests "Sinners" could follow in the footsteps of "Parasite" or "Everything Everywhere All at Once" by achieving a surprise sweep.
