Another Academy Awards night has come and gone, which means it’s time to reveal the winners of Laemmle Theatres’ annual Oscar prediction contest!

As always, our movie-loving patrons proved remarkably prescient, though a few of this year’s categories kept everyone guessing right up until the final envelope.

1st Place: James – $100 Laemmle Gift Card

2nd Place: Joshua – $50 Laemmle Gift Card

3rd Place: Michael – $25 Laemmle Gift Card

Congratulations to our winners! We’ll be reaching out soon about your prizes.

As it turned out, our top contestants were so evenly matched that we had to rely on the tie-breaker question—guessing the total runtime of the Oscars telecast—to determine the final standings. This year’s ceremony clocked in at 235 minutes, which ultimately separated first place from the rest of the pack.

Several of the night’s biggest races also proved surprisingly divisive among Laemmle voters. Best Actor was one of the most hotly contested categories, with about half of participants predicting Timothée Chalamet for Marty Supreme. In the end, however, the Academy went (perhaps ‘chasséd’) another direction, awarding the Oscar to Michael B. Jordan for Sinners.

The Best Supporting Actor category also split voters, many of whom predicted either Sean Penn for One Battle After Another (who ultimately took home the award) or Stellan Skarsgård for Sentimental Value. Meanwhile, Best Cinematography was another toss-up among our contestants, with many selecting One Battle After Another, though the Oscar ultimately went to Autumn Durald Arkapaw for Sinners—making history as the first woman ever to win the award.

Thanks to everyone who participated in this year’s contest! Be sure to check out our fancy pie charts and breakdown of how Laemmle patrons voted across all the categories.

And of course, it’s never too early to start thinking about next year’s contenders. See you at the movies—and at next year’s Oscars contest!
