Time on Screen: 2025 Academy Awards Preview

Time on Screen returns this week with one our favorite episodes of the year, our annual Academy Awards preview. Zach Kazan is joined by Kyle Snarr for this episode, where they’re committed to helping you win your office Oscar pool, or just have a better understanding of the biggest night in movies.

This year’s Oscar season has been one of the most memorable of recent years, with no clear front runner for much of the season. This represents a big change as the last few years have seen clear favorites emerge relatively early in the race, but this year is marked by at least some uncertainty in many of the most high profile categories. This has also been a year that’s marked the return of some good old fashioned gamesmanship at the Oscars, with controversies real and imagined gaining traction in the press. Whether they’ll impact the race or not is an open question, but Kyle and Zach discuss them all here and do their best to handicap the race to this point.

Thanks as always for listening, and be sure to drop your Oscar picks in the comments below!
