91st Academy Awards - Predictions
/
The 91st Academy Awards are finally here and 2018 has given us some great movies, filled with stunning visuals, incredible craftsmanship, amazing screenplays, and terrific performances. Regarding records or milestones, Black Panther is the first superhero movie to be nominated for Best Picture and Roma is one of two foreign language films to receive ten Oscar nominations!
This year’s ceremony won’t have a host for the first time since 1989 and it’s one of the most open races of the decade, so surprises are bound to happen. If you want to know my predictions, carry on!
I will give you my thoughts on Who Will Win and on Who Should Win. The first “category” will be based on other 2018-related award shows and the usual political-social agenda, as well as on previous Academy Awards ceremonies. The latter will be purely on personal preference (who I’d like to see winning). So, without further ado, here are my predictions in order of presentation:
