\"side_oscar\"<\/a>The 96th Academy Awards are going down next Sunday night and that means it is time for another go-around of my woeful predictions.\u00a0 I don’t know that I’ve heard of many of these movies let alone seen them, so, with less basis in fact than most years, here’s my uneducated predictions for the non-acting awards.<\/p>\n

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

Justine Triet and Arthur Harari, Anatomy of a Fall<\/em>
\nDavid Hemingson, The Holdovers<\/em><\/strong>
\nBradley Cooper and Josh Singer, Maestro<\/em>
\nScreenplay by Samy Burch; Story by Samy Burch and Alex Mechanik, May December<\/em>
\nCeline Song, Past Lives<\/em><\/p>\n

I’ve seen a whopping two of these films, so I’m going to pick my favorite of the two, The Holdovers<\/em>.<\/p>\n

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

Cord Jefferson, American Fiction<\/em>
\nGreta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach, Barbie<\/em>
\nChristopher Nolan, Oppenheimer<\/em><\/strong>
\nTony McNamara, Poor Things<\/em>
\nJonathan Glazer, The Zone of Interest<\/em><\/p>\n

I’m assuming this will be the start of a big night for Nolan and Oppenheimer<\/em>.<\/p>\n

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

The Boy and the Heron<\/em>
\nElemental<\/em>
\nNimona<\/em>
\nRobot Dreams<\/em>
\nSpider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Once again, I’ll go with the one I’ve seen.<\/p>\n

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

Edward Lachman, El Conde<\/em>
\nRodrigo Prieto, Killers of the Flower Moon<\/em>
\nMatthew Libatique, Maestro<\/em>
\nHoyte van Hoytema, Oppenheimer<\/em><\/strong>
\nRobbie Ryan, Poor Things<\/em><\/p>\n

Seems like I’m going all in with the atomic bomb movie.<\/p>\n

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

Jacqueline Durran, Barbie<\/em><\/strong>
\nJacqueline West, Killers of the Flower Moon<\/em>
\nJanty Yates and Dave Crossman, Napoleon<\/em>
\nEllen Mirojnick, Oppenheimer<\/em>
\nHolly Waddington, Poor Things<\/em><\/p>\n

This seems like as good a place as any for Barbie<\/em> to get on the board.<\/p>\n

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

Bobi Wine: The People’s President<\/em>
\nThe Eternal Memory<\/em>
\nFour Daughters <\/em><\/strong>
\nTo Kill a Tiger<\/em>
\n20 Days in Mariupol<\/em><\/p>\n

I’ve neither seen nor heard of any of these, so this is a total shot in the dark.<\/p>\n

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

The ABCs of Book Banning<\/em><\/strong>
\nThe Barber of Little Rock <\/em>
\nIsland in Between<\/em>
\nThe Last Repair Shop<\/em>
\nN\u01cei Nai & W\u00e0i P\u00f3<\/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

Laurent S\u00e9n\u00e9chal, Anatomy of a Fall<\/em>
\nKevin Tent, The Holdovers<\/em>
\nThelma Schoonmaker, Killers of the Flower Moon<\/em>
\nJennifer Lame, Oppenheimer<\/em>
\nYorgos Mavropsaridis, Poor Things<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I’m basing this solely on clips I’ve seen on the internet, having only seen one of these films.<\/p>\n

Best International Feature Film<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Io capitano<\/em>, Italy<\/strong>
\nPerfect Days<\/em>, Japan
\nSociety of the Snow<\/em>, Spain
\nThe Teachers’ Lounge<\/em>, Germany
\nThe Zone of Interest<\/em>, United Kingdom<\/p>\n

Really, how should I know?<\/p>\n

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

Karen Hartley Thomas, Suzi Battersby, and Ashra Kelly-Blue, Golda<\/em>
\nKazu Hiro, Kay Georgiou, and Lori McCoy-Bell, Maestro<\/em><\/strong>
\nLuisa Abel, Oppenheimer<\/em>
\nNadia Stacey,\u00a0Mark Coulier, and Josh Weston, Poor Things<\/em>
\nAna L\u00f3pez-Puigcerver, David Mart\u00ed, and Montse Rib\u00e9, Society of the Snow<\/em><\/p>\n

I haven’t seen any of these movies, so I’m going with Maestro<\/em>.<\/p>\n

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

American Fiction, <\/em>Laura Karpman
\nIndiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny<\/em>, John Williams<\/strong>
\nKillers of the Flower Moon<\/em>, Robbie Robertson
\nOppenheimer, <\/em>Ludwig G\u00f6ransson
\nPoor Things<\/em>, Jerskin Fendrix<\/p>\n

You can’t go wrong by picking John Williams.<\/p>\n

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

The Fire Inside<\/em> from Flamin’ Hot<\/em>, Music and lyrics by Diane Warren
\nI’m Just Ken<\/em> from Barbie<\/em>, Music and lyrics by Mark Ronson and Andrew Wyatt
\nIt Never Went Away<\/em> from American Symphony<\/em>, Music and lyrics by Jon Batiste and Dan Wilson
\nWahzhazhe (A Song for My People)<\/em> from Killers of the Flower Moon<\/em>, Music and lyrics by Scott George
\nWhat Was I Made For?<\/strong><\/em> from Barbie<\/em>, Music and lyrics by Billie Eilish and Finneas O’Connell<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hopefully the two nominees from Barbie<\/em> don’t end up splitting the ballot.<\/p>\n

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

Barbie<\/em>, Production Design: Sarah Greenwood; Set Decoration: Katie Spencer<\/strong>
\nKillers of the Flower Moon<\/em>, Production Design: Jack Fisk; Set Decoration: Adam Willis
\nNapoleon<\/em>, Production Design: Arthur Max; Set Decoration: Elli Griff
\nOppenheimer<\/em>, Production Design: Ruth De Jong; Set Decoration: Claire Kaufman
\nPoor Things<\/em>, Production Design: James Price and Shona Heath; Set Decoration: Zsuzsa Mihalek<\/p>\n

Looks like another opportunity for Barbie<\/em> to shine.<\/p>\n

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

Letter to a Pig<\/em>, Tal Kantor and Amit R. Gicelter
\nNinety-Five Senses<\/em>, Jared and Jerusha Hess<\/strong>
\nOur Uniform<\/em>, Yegane Moghaddam
\nPachyderme<\/em>, St\u00e9phanie Cl\u00e9ment and Marc Rius
\nWar Is Over! Inspired by the Music of John and Yoko<\/em>, Dave Mullins and Brad Booker<\/p>\n

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

The After<\/em>, Misan Harriman and Nicky Bentham
\nInvincible<\/em>, Vincent Ren\u00e9-Lortie and Samuel Caron
\nKnight of Fortune<\/em>, Lasse Lyskj\u00e6r Noer and Christian Norlyk
\nRed, White and Blue<\/em>, Nazrin Choudhury and Sara McFarlane
\nThe Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar<\/em>, Wes Anderson and Steven Rales<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

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

The Creator<\/em>, Ian Voigt, Erik Aadahl, Ethan Van der Ryn, Tom Ozanich, and Dean Zupancic
\nMaestro<\/em>, Steven A. Morrow, Richard King, Jason Ruder, Tom Ozanich, and Dean Zupancic
\nMission: Impossible \u2013 Dead Reckoning Part One<\/em>, Chris Munro, James H. Mather, Chris Burdon, and Mark Taylor
\nOppenheimer<\/em>, Willie Burton, Richard King, Gary A. Rizzo, and Kevin O’Connell<\/strong>
\nThe Zone of Interest<\/em>, Tarn Willers and Johnnie Burn<\/p>\n

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

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

The Creator<\/em>, Jay Cooper, Ian Comley, Andrew Roberts, and Neil Corbould
\nGodzilla Minus One<\/em>, Takashi Yamazaki, Kiyoko Shibuya, Masaki Takahashi, and Tatsuji Nojima<\/strong>

\nNapoleon<\/em>, Charley Henley, Luc-Ewen Martin-Fenouillet, Simone Coco, and Neil Corbould<\/p>\n

I’ve only seen one of these films, but despite being a category seemingly made for superhero flicks, I’m going with Godzilla Minus One<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
