BaconBit: And the 2026 Oscar Winners Are…

About this episode

The hosts discuss the highlights and disappointments of the 98th Academy Awards while engaging in a lighthearted conversation about their draft-style ballots.

With this BaconBit, Baconsale is going to revive the ballet and opera industries. None of us sat down and fully watched the 98th Academy Awards this year, but we all watched the most important clips, including the touching tribute to Rob Reiner and the random comedy bits that were Frankensteined together throughout the ceremony. To be honest, Kent and Zack are a little disappointed in Conan, while Joel is just trying to decide which gift bag prize he would choose. And while we’re all a little saddened that our scores are so low because of our draft-style ballots, one of us will win a robe and one of you will win a $50 gift certificate to your local movie theater. Hurry! Press play before the orchestra starts the music and the microphone drops!
