Following months of anticipation and what has felt from media and business teams, the Oscars are finally upon us. Each of 24 categories 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 to our complete predictions in each category from Best Picture all the way to Best Live Action Short. The nominees are listed in order of the racetrack chances, together with our projected winners.
As of this writing more than Gold Derby users have chimed in with their Oscar picks. That includes the Pro journalists we have polled from leading media outlets, the Editors who pay awards year-round for Gold Derby, the Best 24 Users who obtained the highest scores calling past year’s Oscar winners, and 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 that our vast assortment of Users, one of whom will most likely set the remainder of our predictions to shame.
Several years a strong industry consensus forms around one movie, as when”Argo” (2012) and”Birdman” (2014) spanned the significant guild prizes in their way to Oscar successes for Best Picture. However, this year was divided. “Green Book” was looking good after it won Best Picture at the Producers Guild Awards, but then 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 subsequently followed that up with a BAFTA success for Best Picture. And it is tied with”The Favourite” since the year’s most nominated film at the Oscars. So it’s our front-runner for Best Picture entering Oscar weekend. However, other movies have looked strong in recent years only to be tripped up at the end line. “The Revenant” (2015) looked like the top competition until it had been 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 greatest upsets in history.
