\"side_oscar\"<\/a>The 89th Academy Awards are\u00a0going down\u00a0next Sunday night, so here’s my uneducated predictions for the non-acting awards. I likely have seen very few of these movies, so I will mostly be going on gut feel and word of mouth rather than personal experience.<\/p>\n

Best Original Screenplay<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Taylor Sheridan,\u00a0Hell or High Water<\/em>
\nDamien Chazelle,\u00a0La La Land<\/em><\/strong>
\nYorgos Lanthimos and Efthimis Filippou,\u00a0The Lobster<\/em>
\nKenneth Lonergan,\u00a0Manchester By The Sea<\/em>
\nMike Mills, 20th Century Women<\/em><\/p>\n

I haven’t seen any of these films yet, but\u00a0I do know that there is nothing Hollywood likes more than a love letter to Hollywood, which is pretty much what I’ve been led to believe\u00a0La La Land<\/em> is.<\/p>\n

Best Adapted Screenplay<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Eric Heisserer,\u00a0Arrival<\/em>
\nAugust Wilson,\u00a0Fences<\/em>
\nAllison Schroeder and Theodore Melfi,\u00a0Hidden Figures<\/em>
\nLuke Davies,\u00a0Lion<\/em>
\nBarry Jenkins and Tarell Alvin McCraney, Moonlight<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Another category where I have not seen any of the nominated work. I’m guessing,\u00a0based on very little, that\u00a0Moonlight<\/em> will win this\u00a0one.<\/p>\n

Best Animated Feature<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Kubo and the Two Strings<\/i>
\n<\/i>Moana<\/i>
\n<\/i>My Life As A Zucchini<\/i>
\nThe Red Turtle<\/i><\/strong>
\nZootopia<\/em><\/p>\n

I’ve only heard of two of these, neither of which I can see taking home an Oscar.\u00a0 So, I’m going out on a ledge here and going with The Red Turtle<\/em>.<\/p>\n

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

Bradford Young,\u00a0Arrival<\/em>
\nLinus Sandgren,\u00a0La La Land<\/em><\/strong>
\nGreig Fraser,\u00a0Lion<\/em>
\nJames Laxton,\u00a0Moonlight<\/em>
\nRodrigo Prieto, Silence<\/em><\/p>\n

Well, again I’ve\u00a0seen none of these, so I will once again go with La La Land<\/em>, though Arrival<\/em> may be a strong contender.<\/p>\n

Best Costume Design<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Joanna Johnston,\u00a0Allied<\/em>
\nColleen Atwood,\u00a0Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them<\/em>
\nConsolata Boyle,\u00a0Florence Foster Jenkins<\/em>
\nMadeline Fontaine,\u00a0Jackie<\/em>
\nMary Zophres, La La Land<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Another category where I’m at a loss, so I’ll stick with my theme so far and go with Mary Zophres for her work on La La Land<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Best Documentary Feature<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Fire At Sea<\/i>
\n<\/i>I Am Not Your Negro<\/i><\/strong>
\n<\/i>Life, Animated<\/i>
\n<\/i>O.J.: Made In America<\/i>
\n13th<\/em><\/p>\n

I’m not really familiar with any of these, aside from the OJ one which was really a television miniseries, so\u00a0this is just a stab in the dark.<\/p>\n

Best Documentary Short Subject<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Extremis<\/i>
\n<\/i>4.1 Miles<\/i>
\n<\/i>Joe’s Violin<\/i><\/strong>
\n<\/i>Watani: My Homeland<\/i>
\nThe White Helmets<\/em><\/p>\n

This is a total guess for a category that I know nothing about.<\/p>\n

Achievement in Film Editing<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Joe Walker,\u00a0Arrival<\/em><\/strong>
\nJohn Gilbert,\u00a0Hacksaw Ridge<\/em>
\nJake Roberts,\u00a0Hell or High Water<\/em>
\nTom Cross,\u00a0La La Land<\/em>
\nNat Sanders and Joi\u00a0McMillon, Moonlight<\/em><\/p>\n

Film editing seems like an award that a science fiction epic should win, so I’m going with Joe Walker.<\/p>\n

Best Foreign Language Film<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Land of Mine<\/i>,\u00a0Denmark
\nA Man Called Ove<\/em>,\u00a0Sweden
\nThe Salesman<\/em>,\u00a0Iran<\/strong>
\nTanna<\/em>,\u00a0Australia
\nToni Erdmann<\/em>, Germany<\/p>\n

A group of films that I have never, and will never, see, so I’m picking one at random.<\/p>\n

Achievement in Makeup and Hairstyling<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Love Larson and Eva von Bahr,\u00a0A Man Called Ove<\/em><\/strong>
\nJoel Harlow and Richard Alonzo,\u00a0Star Trek Beyond<\/em>
\nAlessandro Bertolazzi, Giorgio Gregorini, and Christopher Nelson, Suicide Squad<\/em><\/p>\n

The first category where I’ve seen not one, but two of the nominated films.\u00a0 I don’t want to live in a world where either Star Trek Beyond<\/em> or Suicide Squad<\/em> wins an Oscar, so that leaves me with one choice.<\/p>\n

Achievement in Music Written for Motion Pictures (Original Score)<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Jackie<\/em>,\u00a0Mica Levi
\nLa La Land<\/em>,\u00a0Justin Hurwitz<\/strong>
\nLion<\/em>, Dustin O’Halloran and Hauschka
\nMoonlight<\/em>,\u00a0Nicholas Britell
\nPassengers<\/em>, Thomas Newman<\/p>\n

Back to guessing for this one, so I’m going again with La La Land<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Achievement in Music Written for Motion Pictures (Original Song)<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Audition (The Fools Who Dream)<\/em> from La La Land<\/em>, Music by Justin Hurwitz, Lyric by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul
\nCan’t Stop the Feeling!<\/em> from Trolls<\/em>, Music and Lyric by Justin Timberlake, Max Martin, and Karl Johan Schuster (Shellback)
\nCity of Stars<\/em> from La La Land<\/em>, Music by Justin Hurwitz, Lyric by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul
\nThe Empty Chair<\/em> from Jim: The James Foley Story<\/em>, Music and Lyric by J. Ralph and Sting
\nHow Far I’ll Go<\/em> from Moana<\/em>, Music and Lyric by Lin-Manuel Miranda<\/strong><\/p>\n

I haven’t heard any of these, but my guess is the 2 nominees from La La Land<\/em> split the vote and Lin-Manuel Miranda moves one step closer\u00a0to his EGOT.<\/p>\n

Achievement in Production Design<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Arrival<\/em>, Production Design: Patrice Vermette; Set Decoration: Paul Hotte<\/strong>
\nFantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them<\/em>, Production Design: Stuart Craig; Set Decoration: Anna Pinnock
\nHail, Caesar!<\/em>, Production Design: Jess Gonchor; Set Decoration:\u00a0Nancy Haigh
\nLa La Land<\/em>, Production Design: David Wasco; Set Decoration:\u00a0Sandy Reynolds-Wasco
\nPassengers<\/em>, Production Design: Guy Hendrix Dyas; Set Decoration: Gene Serdena<\/p>\n

I’m going with Arrival<\/em>, for no particular reason.<\/p>\n

Best Animated Short Film<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Blind Vaysha<\/em>, Theodore Ushev<\/strong>
\nBorrowed Time<\/em>, Andrew Coats and Lou Hamou-Lhadj
\nPear Cider and Cigarettes<\/em>, Robert Valley and Cara Speller
\nPearl<\/em>, Patrick Osborne
\nPiper<\/em>, Alan Barillaro and Marc Sondheimer<\/p>\n

Best Live Action Short Film<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Ennemis int\u00e9rieurs<\/em>, S\u00e9lim Azzazi
\nLa Femme et le TGV<\/em>, Timo von Gunten and Giacun Caduff
\nSilent Nights<\/em>, Aske Bang and Kim Magnusson
\nSing<\/em>, Krist\u00f3f De\u00e1k and Anna Udvardy<\/strong>
\nTimecode<\/em>, Juanjo Gim\u00e9nez<\/p>\n

These picks are based on nothing but pure alchemy.<\/p>\n

Achievement in Sound Editing<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Arrival<\/em>, Sylvain Bellemare
\nDeepwater Horizon<\/em>, Wylie Stateman and Ren\u00e9e Tondelli
\nHacksaw Ridge<\/em>, Robert Mackenzie and Andy Wright
\nLa La Land<\/em>, Ai-Ling Lee and Mildred Iatrou Morgan<\/strong>
\nSully<\/em>, Alan Robert Murray and Bub Asman<\/p>\n

Having seen none of these, I’m again putting my money on La La Land<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Achievement in Sound Mixing<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Arrival<\/em>, Bernard Gari\u00e9py Strobl and Claude La Haye
\nHacksaw Ridge<\/em>, Kevin O’Connell, Andy Wright, Robert Mackenzie, and Peter Grace
\nLa La Land<\/em>, Andy Nelson, Ai-Ling Lee, and Steve A. Morrow
\nRogue One: A Star Wars Story<\/em>, David Parker, Christopher Scarabosio, and Stuart Wilson<\/strong>
\n13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi<\/em>, Greg P. Russell, Gary Summers, Jeffrey J. Haboush, and Mac Ruth<\/p>\n

Ishall select the one nominated film that I have seen.<\/p>\n

Achievement in Visual Effects<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Deepwater Horizon<\/em>, Craig Hammeck, Jason Snell, Jason Billington, and Burt Dalton
\nDoctor Strange<\/em>, Stephane Ceretti, Richard Bluff, Vincent Cirelli, and Paul Corbould
\n<\/strong>The Jungle Book<\/em>, Robert Legato, Adam Valdez, Andrew R. Jones, and Dan Lemmon
\nKubo and the Two Strings<\/em>, Steve Emerson, Oliver Jones, Brian McLean, and Brad Schiff
\nRogue One: A Star Wars Story<\/em>, John Knoll, Mohen Leo, Hal Hickel, and Neil Corbould<\/p>\n

Having seen two of these films, I’m going with the more surprising one for the win.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
