The Oscars are upon us and much like everyone else, I’m doing some predictions. We’ll see how many I get right. That being said, these are only my humble opinions.

Best Picture - I feel Shape of Water will win but Lady Bird, and Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri will provide stiff contention.

Best Actor - This year seems fairly weak for this category. I wasn’t incredibly impressed with anyone besides Gary Oldman so I have to give it to him.

Best Actress - As much as I loved Sally Hawkins and Saoirse Ronan, Frances McDormand was incredible in Three Billboards. If McDormand doesn’t win then I can only hope that Hawkins would.

Best Supporting Actor - Another category that I felt was fairly weak. My pick would be Richard Jenkins because he was the only actor here that made me truly care about his character. Willem Dafoe is getting a lot of praise but I don’t see it any better than what he’s done in the past and the two boys from Three Billboards were good but didn’t blow me away.

Best Supporting Actress - This is the category that I have seen the least of. I can only speak of the two that I’ve seen, which are Laurie Metcalf and Octavia Spencer. Out of those two, I would say Metcalf has it but I wouldn’t be surprised if any of the other nominees got it.

Best Director - As much as I would like to say my boy Guillermo Del Toro would win, I feel like the complex nature and scale of Dunkirk’s filming puts Christopher Nolan ahead of the rest. Being able to coordinate and direct everything that was going on was very impressive and something Nolan does better than anyone.

For the remaining nominations I’ll simply list who I think will win, if I have no opinion I’ll leave it and call it a day.
