Poll shows Americans back Sinners as 2026 Best Picture frontrunner
A YouGov poll finds Americans favor the film Sinners as the likely Best Picture winner for the 2026 Oscars (17%) and as the should-win choice (19%), with Frankenstein and F1 far behind; about 28% have seen Sinners, 25% Frankenstein, and 14% F1 among the nominees, while roughly half have seen one or more nominees. Public predictions sometimes diverge from the Academy’s decisions, and 31% plan to watch the ceremony, with 52% approving of host Conan O’Brien (79% among those watching).
