Welcome to flicnit: your guide to the latest movies, hidden treasures, and guilty pleasures. Gerard brings the expertise, Chili brings the fresh perspective, and Bryce? He's the producer bravely navigating our wildly different opinions. We tackle everything; new releases, forgotten classics, and those movies we are almost ashamed to admit we love. Expect lively discussions, passionate (sometimes heated) debates, and the occasional 'top and bottom' ranking that might just surprise you.
This week on flicnit, we’re making our official predictions for the 2026 Oscars. We break down the major categories, debate who should win versus who probably will win, and try to outguess the Academy before the envelopes get opened.
Expect confident claims, questionable logic, and at least one prediction we’ll absolutely regret later. Whether we nail it or completely whiff, we’re locking in our picks now.
Place your bets… and may the best guess win.
