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
