\"side_oscar\"<\/a>The 92nd Academy Awards are going down 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

Rian Johnson, Knives Out<\/em><\/strong>
\nNoah Baumbach, Marriage Story<\/em>
\nSam Mendes and Krysty Wilson-Cairns, 1917<\/em>
\nQuentin Tarantino, Once Upon A Time In Hollywood<\/em>
\nBong Joon-ho\u00a0and Han Jin-won, Parasite<\/em><\/p>\n

I’ve seen none of these films, so this is a total shot in the dark, but I’ve heard lots of good things about Knives Out<\/em>.<\/p>\n

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

Steven Zaillian, The Irishman<\/em>
\nTaika Waititi, Jojo Rabbit<\/em>
\nTodd Phillips\u00a0and\u00a0Scott Silver, Joker<\/em>
\nGreta Gerwig, Little Women<\/em><\/strong>
\nAnthony McCarten, The Two Popes<\/em><\/p>\n

I’ve only seen one of these, but my guess is that Greta Gerwig takes home the prize.<\/p>\n

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

How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World<\/em>
\nI Lost My Body<\/em>
\nKlaus<\/em>
\nMissing Link<\/em>
\nToy Story 4<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

I’m assuming the continuing adventures of the talking Mr. Potato Head and friends will be the winner.<\/p>\n

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

Rodrigo Prieto, The Irishman<\/em>
\nLawrence Sher, Joker<\/em>
\nJarin Blaschke, The Lighthouse<\/em>
\nRoger Deakins, 1917<\/em><\/strong>
\nRobert Richardson, Once Upon A Time In Hollywood<\/em><\/p>\n

Well, again, I’ve seen one of these, so I will go with the war effort 1917<\/em>.<\/p>\n

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

Sandy Powell\u00a0and Christopher Peterson, The Irishman<\/em>
\nMayes C. Rubeo, Jojo Rabbit<\/em>
\nMark Bridges, Joker<\/em>
\nJacqueline Durran, Little Women<\/em>
\nArianne Phillips, Once Upon A Time In Hollywood<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Quentin Tarantino’s tale of 1960s Hollywood is my choice to win this particular prize.<\/p>\n

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

American Factory<\/em>
\nThe Cave<\/em>
\nThe Edge of Democracy<\/strong><\/em>
\nFor Sama<\/em>
\nHoneyland<\/em><\/p>\n

I haven’t heard of any of these, so it is a total shot in the dark.<\/p>\n

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

In the Absence<\/em>
\nLearning to Skateboard in a Warzone (If You’re a Girl)<\/em><\/strong>
\nLife Overtakes Me<\/em>
\nSt. Louis Superman<\/em>
\nWalk Run Cha-Cha<\/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

Andrew Buckland\u00a0and\u00a0Michael McCusker, Ford V Ferrari<\/em><\/strong>
\nThelma Schoonmaker, The Irishman<\/em>
\nTom Eagles, Jojo Rabbit<\/em>
\nJeff Groth, Joker<\/em>
\nYang Jin-mo, Parasite<\/em><\/p>\n

Film editing seems like an award that a sweeping war epic should win, but since there aren’t any of those nominated, I’ll pick the one about race cars.<\/p>\n

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

Corpus Christi<\/em>, Poland
\nHoneyland<\/em>, North Macedonia
\nLes Mis\u00e9rables<\/em>, France
\nPain and Glory<\/em>, Spain
\nParasite<\/em>, South Korea<\/strong><\/p>\n

A group of films that I have never, and likely will never, see, but Parasite<\/em> is nominated for Best Picture, so it would make sense for it to win this.<\/p>\n

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

Kazu Hiro, Anne Morgan, and Vivian Baker, Bombshell<\/em>
\nNicki Ledermann and Kay Georgiou, Joker<\/em>
\nJeremy Woodhead, Judy<\/em><\/strong>
\nPaul Gooch,\u00a0Arjen Tuiten, and\u00a0David White, Maleficent: Mistress of Evil<\/em>
\nNaomi Donne, Tristan Versluis, and Rebecca Cole, 1917<\/em><\/p>\n

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

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

Joker<\/em>, Hildur Gu\u00f0nad\u00f3ttir
\nLittle Women<\/em>, Alexandre Desplat
\nMarriage Story<\/em>, Randy Newman
\n1917<\/em>, Thomas Newman
\nStar Wars: The Rise of Skywalker<\/em>, John Williams<\/strong><\/p>\n

The sentimental favorite has to be John Williams in his final entry in the Star Wars<\/em> saga.<\/p>\n

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

I Can’t Let You Throw Yourself Away<\/em> from\u00a0Toy Story 4<\/em> by\u00a0Randy Newman
\n(I’m Gonna) Love Me Again<\/em> from\u00a0Rocketman<\/em> by\u00a0Elton John and Bernie Taupin
\nI’m Standing with You<\/em> from\u00a0Breakthrough<\/em> by\u00a0Diane Warren
\nInto the Unknown<\/em> from\u00a0Frozen II<\/em> by\u00a0Kristen Anderson-Lopez\u00a0and\u00a0Robert Lopez<\/strong>
\nStand Up<\/em> from\u00a0Harriet<\/em> by Joshuah Brian Campbell and\u00a0Cynthia Erivo<\/p>\n

This seems like too obvious a choice.<\/p>\n

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

The Irishman<\/em>, Production Design: Bob Shaw; Set Decoration: Regina Graves
\nJojo Rabbit<\/em>, Production Design:\u00a0Ra Vincent; Set Decoration: Nora Sopkov\u00e1
\n1917<\/em>, Production Design:\u00a0Dennis Gassner; Set Decoration:\u00a0Lee Sandales<\/strong>
\nOnce Upon a Time in Hollywood<\/em>, Production Design: Barbara Ling; Set Decoration:\u00a0Nancy Haigh
\nParasite<\/em>, Production Design: Lee Ha-jun; Set Decoration: Cho Won-woo<\/p>\n

I’m picking the team behind 1917<\/em> in a pure guess.<\/p>\n

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

Dcera (Daughter)<\/em>, Daria Kashcheeva
\nHair Love<\/em>, Matthew A. Cherry\u00a0and Karen Rupert Toliver
\nKitbull<\/em>, Rosana Sullivan\u00a0and Kathryn Hendrickson<\/strong>
\nMemorable<\/em>, Bruno Collet and Jean-Fran\u00e7ois Le Corre
\nSister<\/em>, Siqi Song<\/p>\n

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

Brotherhood<\/em>, Meryam Joobeur\u00a0and Maria Gracia Turgeon
\nNefta Football Club<\/em>, Yves Piat and Damien Megherbi<\/strong>
\nThe Neighbors’ Window<\/em>, Marshall Curry
\nSaria<\/em>, Bryan Buckley\u00a0and Matt Lefebvre
\nA Sister<\/em>, Delphine Girard<\/p>\n

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

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

Ford v Ferrari<\/em>, Donald Sylvester
\nJoker<\/em>, Alan Robert Murray
\n1917<\/em>, Oliver Tarney\u00a0and Rachael Tate<\/strong>
\nOnce Upon a Time in Hollywood<\/em>, Wylie Stateman
\nStar Wars: The Rise of Skywalker<\/em>, Matthew Wood\u00a0and\u00a0David Acord<\/p>\n

I’m going to go with 1917<\/em>, for no particular reason.<\/p>\n

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

Ad Astra<\/em>, Gary Rydstrom,\u00a0Tom Johnson\u00a0and\u00a0Mark Ulano
\nFord v Ferrari<\/em>, Paul Massey,\u00a0David Giammarco, and\u00a0Steven A. Morrow<\/strong>
\nJoker<\/em>, Tom Ozanich,\u00a0Dean Zupancic\u00a0and\u00a0Tod Maitland
\n1917<\/em>, Mark Taylor\u00a0and\u00a0Stuart Wilson
\nOnce Upon a Time in Hollywood<\/em>, Michael Minkler, Christian P. Minkler, and\u00a0Mark Ulano<\/p>\n

I’ll go with the vroom vrooms of the car movie.<\/p>\n

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

Avengers: Endgame<\/em>, Dan DeLeeuw, Matt Aitken, Russell Earl and Dan Sudick
\n<\/strong>The Irishman<\/em>, Pablo Helman,\u00a0Leandro Estebecorena, Stephane Grabli, and Nelson Sepulveda
\nThe Lion King<\/em>, Robert Legato,\u00a0Adam Valdez,\u00a0Andrew R. Jones, and Elliot Newman
\n1917<\/em>, Guillaume Rocheron,\u00a0Greg Butler, and Dominic Tuohy
\nStar Wars: The Rise of Skywalker<\/em>, Roger Guyett,\u00a0Neal Scanlan,\u00a0Patrick Tubach, and Dominic Tuohy<\/p>\n

I could make an argument for Avengers<\/em> or Star Wars<\/em>, but I’m going with Endgame<\/em>, just for the scope of its effects.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
