The 13th edition of my annual Oscars prediction contest is back!

I will share my predictions on the weekend of 13-15 Mar. The Oscars will happen on Mon 16 Mar, 7.00am (SGT).

Instructions:

1. The contest is open to folks residing in Singapore only.
2. Copy and paste the categories below into an email.
3. Indicate clearly for each category who or which film you think will win the Oscar (‘WW‘) and one dark horse (‘DH‘).
4. Email to eternalitytan@gmail.com with the subject header ‘Outguess ET 2026’ latest by 12 Mar 11.59pm (SGT).

How to win:

• Predicting correctly ‘Will Win’ earns you 3 points per category
• Predicting correctly ‘Dark Horse’ earns you 1 point per category
• Score more points than me – a tie doesn’t count
• If there is more than one winner with the same points, the participant who submitted his or her predictions earlier (based on email timestamp) will win.

If you win, you can pick one of the following prizes:
