Here follows my predictions for tomorrow morning’s Academy Award nominations. This is not in any way, shape, or form what I think should happen, but instead, my shot in the dark at nailing the nominations to a tee:
Best Picture
BlackKklansmen
Black Panther
Crazy Rich Asians
Eighth Grade
The Favourite
Green Book
If Beale Street Could Talk
Roma
A Star is Born
Vice
*I’m predicting ten nominations in the Best Picture category this year to compensate for the failure of their Best Popular Film category.
Best Director
Bradley Cooper, A Star is Born
Alfonso Cuaron, Roma
Debra Granik, Leave No Trace
Yorgos Lanthimos, The Favourite
Spike Lee, BlackKklansmen
*I could also see Lynne Ramsay getting nominated over somebody.
Best Actor
Bradley Cooper, A Star is Born
Ethan Hawke, First Reformed
Rami Malek, Bohemian Rhapsody
Viggo Mortensen, Green Book
John David Washington, BlackKklansmen
Best Actress
Glenn Close, The Wife
Olivia Colman, The Favourite
Toni Colette, Hereditary
Lady Gaga, A Star is Born
Melissa McCarthy, Can You Ever Forgive Me
*Has anyone seen The Wife? Though I’m sure Glenn Close is fantastic in it.
