It’s nearly time to play the music and to light the lights.\u00a0 The 97th Academy Awards are going down next Sunday night, and my woeful predictions are back.\u00a0 I don\u2019t know that I\u2019ve heard of many of these movies let alone seen them, so, with less basis in fact than most years, here\u2019s my uneducated predictions for the non-acting awards.<\/p>\n
Sean Baker, Anora<\/em> I’ve heard of a whopping two of these films, so I’m going to flip a coin and end up with The Substance<\/em>.<\/p>\n James Mangold and Jay Cocks, A Complete Unknown<\/em> This is a complete guest, as I’ve seen only one of these films.<\/p>\n Flow<\/em> Once again, I’ll take a shot in the dark.<\/p>\n Lol Crawley, The Brutalist<\/em> Sand seems like the way to go for this award.<\/p>\n Arianne Phillips, A Complete Unknown<\/em> This seems like as good a place as any for Wicked<\/em> to get on the board.<\/p>\n Black Box Diaries<\/em> I’ve neither seen nor heard of any of these, so this is a total shot in the dark.<\/p>\n Death By Numbers<\/em> This is a total guess for a category that I know nothing about.<\/p>\n Sean Baker, Anora<\/em> I’ve actually seen two of these but am going with one I haven’t.<\/p>\n Emilia P\u00e9rez<\/em>, France<\/strong> It’s the only one also nominated for Best Picture, so shouldn’t it win here?<\/p>\n Mike Marino, David Presto, and Crystal Jurado, A Different Man<\/em> I want to say it will be the crew behind The Substance<\/em> but instead I’m going with Wicked<\/em>.<\/p>\n The Brutalist, <\/em>Daniel Blumberg This is just a stab in the dark.<\/p>\n El Mal<\/em> from Emilia P\u00e9rez<\/em>, Music by Cl\u00e9ment Ducol and Camille; lyrics by Cl\u00e9ment Ducol, Camille, and Jacques Audiard If Elton John can’t win this, then what do I know?<\/p>\n The Brutalist<\/em>, Production Design: Judy Becker; Set Decoration: Patricia Cuccia Looks like another opportunity for Wicked<\/em> to shine.<\/p>\n Beautiful Men<\/em>, Nicolas Keppens and Brecht Van Elslande A Lien<\/em>, Sam Cutler-Kreutz and David Cutler-Kreutz These two picks are based on nothing but pure alchemy.<\/p>\n A Complete Unknown<\/em>, Tod A. Maitland, Donald Sylvester, Ted Caplan, Paul Massey, and David Giammarco I’m going to go with Dune<\/em>, for no particular reason.<\/p>\n Alien: Romulus<\/em>, Eric Barba, Nelson Sepulveda-Fauser, Daniel Macarin, and Shane Mahan I’ve actually seen three of these films, but despite being a category seemingly made for science fiction flicks, I’m going with Wicked<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It’s nearly time to play the music and to light the lights.\u00a0 The 97th Academy Awards are going down next Sunday night, and my
