Jonathan Ross shares his predictions for the upcoming Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Actor, and Best Actress, while also promoting ITV's coverage of the event.
The 98th Academy Awards takes place on Sunday, March 15 at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood. For the third consecutive year, ITV will deliver the ceremony and its star-studded red carpet coverage on ITV 1 and streaming service ITV X.
Broadcaster Jonathan is returning to lead the channel's coverage on the night offering UK audiences an insider's perspective on the event featuring live commentary, interviews with celebrity guests and film experts and on-the-spot conversations with the stars as they walk the red carpet. The special programme will also include live coverage from the Oscars red carpet with Ross King and Angelique Jackson reporting live from the Dolby Theatre immediately followed by the main awards ceremony. The Masked Singer's Jonathan appeared on BBC's The One Show on Wednesday to promote his new Channel 4 show Handcuffed: Last Pair Standing but conversation later turned to the upcoming Oscars ceremony. Sharing his predictions for the night, movie fanatic Jonathan told hosts Alex Jones and Clara Amfo: "I think Best Picture is going to be a toss-up between One Battle After Another or Sinners. "I think Sinners will do better in the States than it did here because at its heart it is set in America, it's sort of an American story and it is an important story of American times. One Battle After Another was a very interesting and timely film as well. "I suspect Michael Jordan will probably get Best Actor over there and I think thoroughly deserved. I think Jessie Buckley will probably get Best Actress for her role in Hamnet." The 97th Oscars ceremony in 2025 resonated strongly with UK viewers, with the coverage across ITV1 and ITVX approximately reaching a combined five million viewers. After winning a Golden Globe and a BAFTA already this year, actress Jessie, who plays Agnes Shakespeare in Hamnet, continued her success at the Actor Awards last Sunday but will her winning streak continue at the Oscars later this month? Sinners star Michael B Jordan scored a surprise win at the Actor Awards, formerly known as the Screen Actors Guild Awards, giving him a surge of momentum in the final weeks before the Oscars.
