Emmy Award Prediction 2026

 

It’s Emmy time again. Looks like The Pitt and Widow’s Bay will take the most hardware home. Wondering how Mariska Hargitay will be as a host; I prefer comedians. Although Nate Bargatze didn’t seem to care much last year. Interestingly, some of the Limited Series awards were handed out at the Creative Arts Emmy this past weekend so there are less categories to predict this year. Anyway, here are my picks:

Outstanding Drama Series
The Diplomat | The Gilded Age | A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms | Paradise | The Pitt | Pluribus | Slow Horses | Your Friends & Neighbors
WILL WIN: The Pitt (They are still on a roll.)
WANT TO WIN: The Pitt (It is appointment television.)

Oscars 2026 Recap

Here are some thoughts on this year’s Oscars:

·         I got 18/24. Better than the disaster of last year. I tried a couple zags that didn't pan out.

·        Fun Conan opener for those who have seen Weapons.

·        Conan O’Brien jokes were pretty good. I really enjoyed some of his bits throughout the show including the reediting of film for iPhones and Casablanca for kids looking at their phones.  

·         Best presenter was Kumail Nanjiani with his suggestions for "short" film titles.

·         I enjoyed the Bridesmaids bit but it was 2.5 hours already with 10 awards to go.  This show went forty minutes overtime.

·        What a long In Memorium. Sure there are some big people who passed away but that's going to keep happening. I felt bad for some of the people that didn't get special shutouts but at least this was better than a singer stealing focus. 

·         Wow! Some of that exit music. "Winner Takes It All" for Michael B Jordan was a fun choice. More confused for "Kiss from a Rose" for the Documentary Feature.

·         Speaking of Michael B Jordan, he is so authentic and easy to root for. So happy for him.

·         Loved that a woman won Cinematography. History making.

·         Speaking of kind of history was a tie for Live Action Short. Kumail must have been trained to explain the procedure. Loved his comment about the irony that this short category took the longest time. 

·         Loved Kieran Culkin's comment that Sean Penn probably didn't want to be there. How accurate.

·         Adrien Brody was able to laugh at himself. Good job. 

·        Only one member is allowed to speak when it comes to group wins. I hate seeing people getting played off but this wouldn't happen if just one person spoke for everyone in their group. Plan ahead people!

·        Enjoyed the clip packages instead of having people talk to nominees in the audience. I was fine with that happening for Casting as that was new category that needed more attention and explanation of what they do. 

Okay, here’s who won:

ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER

LIVE ACTION SHORT FILM

Oscar Prediction 2026

 

It’s that time of year again for my Oscar predictions. I got 14 out of 23 last year which was not great. While I was more confident earlier when the nominations were announced, some recent award wins have blown some categories wide open. I’ve seen all the best picture nominees except The Secret Agent. Here’s hoping for the best. Unlike other award predications I’m not predicting who I want to win but who I think the Academy will vote for. From ‘smaller’ to ‘bigger’, here we go:

LIVE ACTION SHORT FILM
TWO PEOPLE EXCHANGING SALIVA
(Most cinematic of the nominees. Just a guess.)

ANIMATED SHORT FILM
BUTTERFLY
(Holocaust survivor, Olympics, oil painting animation. Sure.)

DOCUMENTARY SHORT
ALL THE EMPTY ROOMS
(School shootings still hit hard. And it’s on Netflix.)

SOUND
F1
(Race cars go zoom.)

ORIGINAL SCORE
SINNERS
(That bluesy twang just works so well.)

ORIGINAL SONG
GOLDEN [KPOP DEMON HUNTERS]
(I want Sinners’ “I Lied to You” but got give one to the kids out there.)

VISUAL EFFECTS
AVATAR: FIRE AND ASH
(I would love Jurassic to upset but this one is bound to win.)

MAKE-UP & HAIRSTYLING
FRANKENSTEIN
(Can’t deny the amazing monster make-up and hairdos.)

COSTUME DESIGN
SINNERS
(I think I’ll go with the smart suits over gothic Victorian.)

PRODUCTION DESIGN
FRANKENSTEIN
(Del Toro always fills his sets with stylistic and tonal eye candy.)

FILM EDITING
ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER
(The road scene and long take rooftop scenes are expertly done.)

CINEMATOGRAPHY
SINNERS
(One Battle had the road and roof scenes but Sinners was better overall.)

DOCUMENTARY FEATURE
THE PERFECT NEIGHBOR
(Use of body cam footage will connect to recent ICE incidents for voters.)

ANIMATED FEATURE
KPOP DEMON HUNTERS
(This was darn entertaining.)

INTERNATIONAL FILM
SENTIMENTAL VALUE [NORWAY]
(The Academy loves a film about the film industry and sad family drama.)

ADAPTED SCREENPLAY
ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER
(This is pretty much a shoo-in. An awesome script from PTA.)

ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY
SINNERS
(This is Coogler’s consolation prize for not getting director.)  

BEST DIRECTOR
PAUL THOMAS ANDERSON [ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER]
(He’s been waiting a while to get one and deserves it.)

BEST CASTING
SINNERS
(This is how they can recognize Delroy Lindo and Miles Caton.)

BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS
WUNMI MOSAKU [SINNERS]
(Just don’t think Weapons will get anything. Sinners is on the rise.)

BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR
STELLAN SKARSGARD [SENTIMENTAL VALUE]
(Sean Penn already has a couple. Stellan needs one now.)

BEST ACTRESS
JESSIE BUCKLEY [HAMNET]
(Probably the only lock in the acting categories. She was great.)

BEST ACTOR
MICHAEL B JORDAN [SINNERS]
(His SAG win catapulted him to the top; I’m tired of Timothee.)

BEST PICTURE
ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER
(I just don’t think a vampire film will break through, unfortunately.)

.We’ll see what happens this Sunday. 

Favourite Superbowl Commercials 2026

In Canada, we need to work a little harder to see all the American Superbowl commercials. Here are a few.

My Favourites

HELLMANN’S – Diamond
Andy Samberg is fun as Neil Diamond.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GaejIbCmqEk

INSTACART – Bananas
Ben Stiller can’t quite match Benson Boone.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gTleZejhlqk

XFINITY – Jurassic Park … Works
Great idea. Good tech can always help.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fnncIVKvJkg

RAMP – Multiply What’s Possible
Lots of Kevins. Love the chili tag.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-mgrFS00B0

Surprised Shatner would do this.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kf6wg-FjVfM

Creepiest One
MANSCAPED – Hair Ballad
What were they thinking?

There you go.

Golden Globes Recap 2026

 

Here’s my recap of the Golden Globes.

·         Nikki Glaser did well again. Lots of good ribbing in her monologue. I really enjoyed her research on Leo and that as a teen he liked pasta, pasta and more pasta. The Paper beating The Rock joke took a little long for people to catch on. Funny how the organizers put Kevin Hart and The Rock so close together.

·         Again, what was with the locator pin for where the nominees were sitting? I don’t need a Google Map to their seat. Rather have clips than just some small photo. This is an opportunity to advertise their movie/television show and some great acting. Luckily, the podcasters got clips (I said in a sarcastic tone).

·         Was wrong on the first award. I didn’t like Teyana Taylor’s character in One Battle After Another. I guess that was the point and she did a good job making me dislike her.

·         Thank you Stellan Skarsgard for talking up watching cinema at the cinema.

·         The inane commentary as people get their awards has got to stop; especially those that have to walk a long way from the back (and keep having to gush around Julia Roberts).

·         Some interesting music choices for entrances and people walking to the stage. Wish they would use the show’s theme music or movie’s score. I did love Macaulay Culkin entering to “Return of the Mack”.

·         Nikki’s podcast thing was okay. Her K-Pop started weird but got funnier.

·         Loved the Smartless banter as they presented. Jason Bateman’s not for everyone.

·         Good for Kamloops with Hudson Williams getting some time on stage because of the Heated Rivalry popularity. I enjoyed the ‘your trainer, mom and daughters’ line.

·         Liked Stephen Graham thanking family and friends and then Queen Latifah.

·         So great to see Rhea Seehorn finally getting an award. Liked her speech.

·         C’mon Seth Rogen, why didn’t you thank Sal Saperstein? It was served to you on a platter and you didn’t take it. You had two opportunities!

·         So the only award they didn’t show was Score? Why include the award on your list if you are going to be disrespectful and keep it off the broadcast? Poor Sinners composer Ludwig Goransson, you deserved better.

·         Apparently every movie and television show “takes a village”.

·         I enjoyed Judd Apatow’s entrance song and his annoyance that the ‘comedy’ The Martian beat his film, Trainwreck all those years ago. Still makes no sense.

·         I loved Paul Thomas Anderson thanking his assistant directors. Way to go!

·         You should probably put Scott Gemmill’s name on the screen when he is talking as many home viewers probably don’t know he’s a producer of The Pitt.

·         Also, mentioning Steven Spielberg is a producer of Hamnet would be helpful. Although I did love the way he talked up Chloe Zhao.

·         Was at first annoyed that Sinners won Best Cinematic and Box Achievement as I assumed they would get Best Picture. Now happy as Hamnet’s win surprised me.

·         Only got four wrong this year. Not bad. Nailed all the TV categories.

 

Here were the winners:

Golden Globes Predictions 2026

The Golden Globes are this Sunday. Nikki Glaser is hosting again and she was actually pretty good last year. While I may not have seen much international fare or a bunch of the indie films, I have seen a lot of the nominees this year.
