It’s time for my annual predictions! I’m predicting 20 of the 24 categories. The acting categories seem to be foregone conclusions and it’s going to be interesting to see if 1917 continues its momentum & nabs Best Picture or if Parasite sneaks in for the win. Here we go…
UPDATE: Winners are highlighted in blue. I was 14 for 20 with my predictions. Even though Parasite wasn't MY favorite movie of the nominees, it is excellent and its Best Picture win was pretty surprising.
