2019 Oscar Predictions

The only preface I have for these predictions is that the members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences should be ashamed that First Man wasn’t nominated across the board. I’m excited for these Oscars otherwise, because Best Picture could legitimately go to four or five films, and a lot of the other major categories could have surprises as well. The Academy is also clearly struggling to put together a show (no host, back peddling on announcements), so in case they need a producer for next year, just know that I am available.
