The Oscars is coming up this Sunday and I plan to stay awake all night to watch the ceremony (it stars at 1 am in the UK). This year seems to be VERY unpredictable, where as previous years have had a clear race between two or three films. This year has NINE Best Picture nominees and it’s also very diverse in the stories that are being told. I’m very excited for this years Oscars since I love so many of the films and people that are nominated. My wishes and my predictions are a bit different, so I chose to make two lists and post them here. Mostly for my self so that I can go back and see what I got right.
