\"side_oscar\"<\/a>The 90th Academy Awards are\u00a0going down\u00a0next Sunday night, so here’s my uneducated predictions for the non-acting awards. I have seen a couple of these movies, so I will still mostly be going on gut feel and word of mouth with just a little bit of personal experience.<\/p>\n

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

Emily V. Gordon and Kumail Nanjiani, The Big Sick<\/em>
\nJordan Peele, Get Out<\/em><\/strong>
\nGreta Gerwig, Lady Bird<\/em>
\nGuillermo del Toro and Vanessa Taylor, The Shape Of Water<\/em>
\nMartin McDonagh, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri<\/em><\/p>\n

I’ve actually seen three of these films, and, while I would love for Emily and Kumail to win, my money is going on Jordan Peele for Get Out<\/em>.<\/p>\n

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

James Ivory, Call Me By Your Name<\/em>
\nScott Neustadter and Michael H. Weber, The Disaster Artist<\/em><\/strong>
\nScott Frank, James Mangold, and Michael Green, Logan<\/em>
\nAaron Sorkin, Molly’s Game<\/em>
\nVirgil Williams and Dee Rees, Mudbound<\/em><\/p>\n

I’ve only seen one of these, but my guess is that the legend behind the story of The Disaster Artist<\/em> will earn it the nod.<\/p>\n

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

The Boss Baby<\/i>
\n<\/i>The Breadwinner<\/i>
\n<\/i>Coco<\/i><\/strong>
\nFerdinand<\/i>
\nLoving Vincent<\/em><\/p>\n

I’ve only heard of two of these, one of which is from the good folks at Pixar, so I’ll go with that.<\/p>\n

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

Roger A. Deakins, Blade Runner 2049<\/em>
\nBruno Delbonnel, Darkest Hour<\/em>
\nHoyte van Hoytema, Dunkirk<\/em><\/strong>
\nRachel Morrison,\u00a0Mudbound<\/em>
\nDan Laustsen, The Shape Of Water<\/em><\/p>\n

Well, again I’ve\u00a0seen none of these, so I will go with the war epic Dunkirk<\/em>.<\/p>\n

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

Jacqueline Durran, Beauty And The Beast<\/em><\/strong>
\nJacqueline Durran<\/span>, Darkest Hour<\/em>
\nMark Bridges, Phantom Thread<\/em>
\nLuis Sequeira, The Shape Of Water<\/em>
\nConsolata Boyle, Victoria & Abdul<\/em><\/p>\n

Another category where I’m at a loss, so I’ll go with the live action Disney hit.<\/p>\n

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

Abacus: Small Enough To Jail<\/i>
\n<\/i>Faces Places<\/i>
\n<\/i>Icarus<\/i><\/strong>
\n<\/i>Last Men In Aleppo<\/i>
\nStrong Island<\/em><\/p>\n

I’ve only really heard of one of these, so\u00a0this is just a stab in the dark.<\/p>\n

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

Edith+Eddie<\/i>
\n<\/i>Heaven Is A Traffic Jam On The 405<\/i>
\n<\/i>Heroin(e)<\/i><\/strong>
\n<\/i>Knife Skills<\/i>
\nTraffic Stop<\/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

Paul Machliss and Jonathan Amos, Baby Driver<\/em>
\nLee Smith, Dunkirk<\/em><\/strong>
\nTatiana S. Riegel, I, Tonya<\/em>
\nSidney Wolinsky, The Shape Of Water<\/em>
\nJon Gregory, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri<\/em><\/p>\n

Film editing seems like an award that a sweeping war epic should win, so I’m going with Lee Smith.<\/p>\n

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

A Fantastic Woman<\/i>, Chile
\nThe Insult<\/em>, Lebanon
\nLoveless<\/em>, Russia<\/strong>
\nOn Body And Soul<\/em>, Hungary
\nThe Square<\/em>, Sweden<\/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

Kazuhiro Tsuji,\u00a0David Malinowski\u00a0and\u00a0Lucy Sibbick, Darkest Hour<\/em>
\nDaniel Phillips\u00a0and\u00a0Lou Sheppard, Victoria & Abdul<\/em>
\nArjen Tuiten, Wonder<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Just a guess at this point.<\/p>\n

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

Dunkirk<\/em>, Hans Zimmer
\nPhantom Thread<\/em>,\u00a0Jonny Greenwood
\nThe Shape Of Water<\/em>, Alexandre Desplat
\nStar Wars: The Last Jedi<\/i>, John Williams<\/strong>
\nThree Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri<\/em>, Carter Burwell<\/p>\n

I’m going again with John Williams to win once again.<\/p>\n

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

Mighty River<\/em> from Mudbound<\/em>, Music and Lyrics by Mary J. Blige,\u00a0Raphael Saadiq\u00a0and\u00a0Taura Stinson
\nMystery Of Love<\/em> from Call Me By Your Name<\/em>, Music and Lyrics by Sufjan Stevens
\nRemember Me<\/em> from Coco<\/em>, Music and Lyrics by Kristen Anderson-Lopez\u00a0and\u00a0Robert Lopez<\/strong>
\nStand Up For Something<\/em> from Marshall<\/em>, Music by Diane Warren, Lyrics by Common and Diane Warren
\nThis Is Me<\/em> from The Greatest Showman<\/em>, Music and Lyrics by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul<\/p>\n

I haven’t heard any of these, but my guess is the one from Pixar.<\/p>\n

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

Beauty And The Beast<\/em>, Production Design: Sarah Greenwood; Set Decoration: Katie Spencer<\/strong>
\nBlade Runner 2049<\/em>, Production Design: Dennis Gassner; Set Decoration: Alessandra Querzola
\nDarkest Hour<\/em>, Production Design: Sarah Greenwood; Set Decoration: Katie Spencer
\nDunkirk<\/em>, Production Design: Nathan Crowley; Set Decoration: Gary Fettis
\nThe Shape Of Water<\/em>, Production Design: Paul Denham Austerberry; Set Decoration: Shane Vieau\u00a0and\u00a0Jeff Melvin<\/p>\n

I’m going with Beauty And the Beast<\/em><\/i>, for no particular reason.<\/p>\n

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

Dear Basketball<\/em>, Glen Keane\u00a0and\u00a0Kobe Bryant<\/strong>
\nGarden Party<\/em>, Victor Caire\u00a0and\u00a0Gabriel Grapperon
\nLou<\/em>, Dave Mullins\u00a0and\u00a0Dana Murray
\nNegative Space<\/em>, Max Porter\u00a0and\u00a0Ru Kuwahata
\nRevolting Rhymes<\/em>, Jakob Schuh\u00a0and\u00a0Jan Lachauer<\/p>\n

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

DeKalb Elementary<\/em>, Reed Van Dyk
\nThe Eleven O’Clock<\/em>, Derin Seale\u00a0and\u00a0Josh Lawson
\nMy Nephew Emmett<\/em>, Kevin Wilson Jr.
\nThe Silent Child<\/em>, Chris Overton\u00a0and\u00a0Rachel Shenton<\/strong>
\nWatu Wote\/All Of Us<\/em>, Katja Benrath\u00a0and\u00a0Tobias Rosen<\/p>\n

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

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

Baby Driver<\/em>, Julian Slater
\nBlade Runner 2049<\/em>, Mark Mangini\u00a0and\u00a0Theo Green
\nDunkirk<\/em>, Richard King\u00a0and\u00a0Alex Gibson
\nThe Shape Of Water<\/em>, Nathan Robitaille\u00a0and\u00a0Nelson Ferreira
\nStar Wars: The Last Jedi<\/em>, Matthew Wood\u00a0and\u00a0Ren Klyce<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’m going to go with Star Wars for the win.<\/p>\n

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

Baby Driver<\/i>,\u00a0Julian Slater,\u00a0Tim Cavagin\u00a0and\u00a0Mary H. Ellis<\/span>
\nBlade Runner 2049<\/em>,\u00a0Ron Bartlett,\u00a0Doug Hemphill\u00a0and\u00a0Mac Ruth<\/span>

\nStar Wars: The Last Jedi<\/em>,\u00a0David Parker,\u00a0Michael Semanick,\u00a0Ren Klyce\u00a0and\u00a0Stuart Wilson<\/strong><\/p>\n

Once again, Star Wars.<\/p>\n
