Predicting 2026

Welcome to a new year of An Oscar For Arnold! With prediction markets in the news these days, we thought it might be interesting if Sonny and Tom try to predict what will happen this year. We're talking about everything from Best Picture winner at the 2026 Academy Awards to the next celebrity couple, the next big trends, and whether Sonny and Tom will find love in the calendar year. So listen now and then follow our picks over the course of 2026 to see how much we nailed it. Will Timothée Chalamet win Best Actor? Will James Marsden experience a career renaissance? Will Helen Mirren be exposed as the leader of a celebrity drug ring? Only time will tell. But time will quickly tell if the boys like today's opening segment, in which they imagine Arnold Schwarzenegger taking over Fredric March's role in "The Best Years of Our Lives." A movie that Sonny wants to see, so he forbids Tom from spoiling it and actually discussing the plot. Which might've been for the best, since it gave your hosts time to dive in to Fredric March's ridiculous character assassination in recent years, in which a club he was a member of with an unfortunate name caused his own name to be removed from a building for no good reason. Sonny and Tom get legitimately upset about this, as a man who was actually an outspoken civil rights advocate for his time is being unfairly labeled as a racist and nobody seems to care enough to do anything about it. Maybe this podcast will do something about it. That would require people actually listening to it, however. Be sure to tune in next year when we check how our predictions went!
