Predicting the 92nd Academy Awards!

Prediction time, baby! The Oscars this year came under fire for not having any female directors represented, and only one person of color among the twenty acting nominations, but there is one major way I think the Oscars will be shaken up in the Best Picture category... read on for my thoughts on that and the rest! Here are my official predictions for this year's Oscars!

BEST PICTURE
1917
Ford v Ferrari
The Irishman
Jojo Rabbit
Joker
Little Women
Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood
Marriage Story
Parasite

I Predict: Parasite

If Parasite wins Best Picture, it will mark the first time a foreign film ever wins the big prize at the Oscars! This is sort of a long-shot pick, but its big win at the Screen Actors Guild Awards shows it has a lot of industry support. As opposed to the other front runners in this race, it doesn't seem to have as many controversies, and with the Academy's preferential voting system (where voters "rank" each movie rather than vote for their single favorite), I think it holds a shot.

The movies to watch out for, I'd say, are 1917, which won the Golden Globe for best drama, the BAFTA for Best Picture, and the Producers Guild Award, and Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood, which won the Golden Globe for best "comedy" and the top prize at the Critics Choice Awards. I think any of these three films are in the running, but I just have that gut feeling about Parasite!
