Oscars 2018 Predictions

Share This Post

Time is of the essence, so I won’t keep you long. The 90th Annual Academy Awards is gracing our TV screens on March 4th, 2018. I’m rooting for Sam Rockwell, Gary Oldman, Sally Hawkins, and Roger Deakins. Deakins is on his fourteenth nomination (Blade Runner 2049) and he’s NEVER won! Hasn’t he earned it by now? And even though he won’t win, it’s good to see Christopher Nolan finally get his first nomination ever for Best Director (Dunkirk).

Before we start, no need to go through every single category, so I’m just sticking to my favorites with this one. And, please remember my predictions are built on acute knowledge and research of every little component involving film; therefore, they cannot be judged or questioned in the least. The assumption is that all of them are correct.

Every. Single. One.
