My personal watchlist for the Oscars 2026, thanks to Variety and Next Best Picture. The list starts off with Variety's first blind predictions and NBP's list of early contenders for 2026's nominees in the feature length categories (except for Original Song). After that I update whenever Variety releases and updates their predictions (top 20 in Best Picture, top 10 in all other categories) until the actual unseen nominees remain.

Latest update: May 19

NOTE: it's a personal watchlist, so whenever I see a film from this list, it will be removed.
