\"side_oscar\"<\/a>As they finish polishing up the statues for Sunday’s awards ceremony, it’s time to finish up our predictions with the major categories.\u00a0 In a strange change of pace, I’ve actually seen one or two of these.\u00a0 So, without further ado, we begin with:<\/p>\n

Best Picture<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Call Me By Your Name<\/em>
\nDarkest Hour<\/i>
\nDunkirk<\/em>
\nGet Out<\/em>
\nLady Bird<\/i>
\nPhantom Thread<\/i>
\nThe Post<\/i>
\nThe Shape Of Water<\/strong>
\nThree Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri<\/i><\/p>\n

Unlike years past, I’ve actually seen 2 of these films.\u00a0 Sadly, I’m not picking either to win, but instead am going with The Shape Of Water<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Best Actor<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet, Call Me By Your Name<\/em>
\nDaniel Day-Lewis, Phantom Thread<\/em><\/strong>
\nDaniel Kaluuya, Get Out<\/em>
\nGary Oldman, Darkest Hour<\/em>
\nDenzel Washington, Roman J. Israel, Esq.<\/em><\/p>\n

With talk of his upcoming retirement from acting, my guess is that Daniel Day-Lewis will take home the prize.<\/p>\n

Best Actress<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Sally Hawkins, The Shape Of Water<\/em>
\nFrances McDormand, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri<\/em>
\nMargot Robbie, I, Tonya<\/em><\/strong>
\nSaoirse Ronan, Lady Bird<\/em>
\nMeryl Streep, The Post<\/em><\/p>\n

I’m guessing that Margot Robbie’s turn as disgraced skater Tonya Harding will earn the ultimate recognition.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Best Supporting Actor<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Willem Dafoe, The Florida Project<\/em>
\nWoody Harrelson, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri<\/em>
\nRichard Jenkins, The Shape Of Water<\/em>
\nChristopher Plummer, All The Money In The World<\/em>
\nSam Rockwell, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri<\/em><\/p>\n

Given the politics behind Christopher Plummer’s performance, replacing the now disgraced Kevin Spacey, I assume he will get the nod.<\/p>\n

Best Supporting Actress<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Mary J. Blige, Mudbound<\/em>
\nAllison Janey, I, Tonya<\/em>
\nLesley Manville, Phantom Thread<\/em>
\nLaurie Metcalf, Lady Bird<\/em><\/strong>
\nOctavia Spencer, The Shape Of Water<\/em><\/p>\n

I’m going with Laurie Metcalf to take home the prize.<\/p>\n

Best Director<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Christopher Nolan, Dunkirk<\/em>
\nJordan Peele, Get Out<\/em>
\nGreta Gerwig, Lady Bird<\/em>
\nPaul Thomas Anderson, Phantom Thread<\/em>
\nGuillermo del Toro, The Shape Of Water<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Another victory predicted for The Shape Of Water<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
