92nd Academy Awards - Predictions
/
The 92nd Academy Awards are right around the corner, and it’s time to share my predictions! I’ve been very lucky in the last few years (except the last one, I’ll be honest), so let’s hope I get all of the categories right in 2020… Maybe not all, but I would love to score 19 at least.
I will share two types of predictions: one with the nominee that WILL WIN (also the one that counts to the ballot) and another with the nominee that SHOULD WIN based on my personal preferences (if I didn’t watch some of the nominees or if I don’t have a favorite, I won’t give my opinion).
Without further ado, here we go!
