Black Panther

Bohemian Rhapsody

[vinipereira 3,054]

Today is the Oscars so here I am with my predictions. This year I managed to watch 33 of the 37 feature films nominated, and all 15 shorts, for a total of 48/52 (or 92%). In the last 2 years, I had 17/24 correct guesses, but missed Best Picture in both. Today, I'm not so sure about the big award either. I'm going with Roma, but this is kind of a "artsy" movie that the Academy members could ignore and go with something more accessible/popular like Green Book or Black Panther (or even Bohemian Rhapsody, which can very well win the most Oscars tonight and take the title of worst winner ever).

 

["will win" is my prediction / "could win" is my alternate prediction / "should win" is my personal ranking from what I've watched / "shoud have been nominated" is a way to remember other notable work].

Tonight's the Oscar night. As a I have, of course, hopes for at least one Award for "Cold War" (pure patriotism, I haven't seen it ). Among the other films I have my "Favorite" . I also keep my fingers crossed for the other "monarchist" film - "Mary, Queen of Scots". Other hopes are the other "Favorite" Oscars - especially for Rachel Weisz as supporting actress (sentiment from the "Mummy" movies and beloved "Runaway Jury" makes her my personal No. 2 among favorite actresses of Hollywood's history, just after Princess Grace).

Even though she isn't my favourite this year, I want her to win. The performance is great + she deserved this a long time ago. Watch out for Olivia Colman though.

 

[Federer91 2,140]

Close is the most sure win out of all the acting categories.
