After months of anticipation and what’s felt like countless awards from business groups and media, the Oscars are finally upon us. All 24 classes will be passed out on Sunday night, February 24, during a ceremony hosted by… well, no on in particular. Maybe. But who will win? Scroll down for our predictions in every category from Greatest Picture all the way to Best Live Action Short. The nominees are listed with our projected winners highlighted in gold.
As of the writing more than Gold Derby users have chimed in with their Oscar picks. That includes the Expert journalists we have polled from leading press outlets, the Editors who cover awards yearlong for Gold Derby, the Best 24 Users who got the highest scores predicting past year’s Oscar winners, along with the All-Star Top 24 who had the best prediction scores once you combine the previous 2 year’s Oscar results. Last, of course, is our range of Users, among whom will most likely put the remainder of our predictions.
Several years a strong business consensus forms around one movie, as when”Argo” (2012) and”Birdman” (2014) spanned the major guild prizes on their way to Oscar successes for Best Picture. However, this year has been divided. “Green Book” was looking good after it won Best Picture at the Producers Guild Awards, but director Peter Farrelly was snubbed at the Oscars. “Black Panther” won the SAG Award for the ensemble cast, but it too underperformed in the Oscar nominations.
Then”Roma” won the Directors Guild Award and then followed up with a BAFTA victory for Best Picture. And it is tied to”The Favourite” since the year’s most nominated movie at the Oscars. So it is our front-runner for Best Picture. However, movies have looked strong in recent years only to be triggered in the end line. “The Revenant” (2015) appeared like the top contender until it was angry by”Spotlight” And right then”La La Land” (2016) looked like it had everything sewn up till it had been bested by”Moonlight” in one of the biggest upsets in history.
