KARE 11 – Oscar Picks and Predictions

By Brian Eggert | March 14, 2026

Dear readers,

This weekend, I returned to KARE 11 Saturday, the local NBC affiliate’s weekend morning show, to offer my picks and predictions for four major categories at the 98th Academy Awards ceremony, which will take place on March 15, 2026. I discussed who I think should win versus who I think will win in these categories: Best Actress, Best Actor, Best Director, and Best Picture.  

Watch the segment below and visit the Guest Appearances page for my other TV and podcast appearances.

Happy viewing!
