Final OSCAR Nomination Predictions: Who Will Get In?

Happy Friday, everybody! Today I am going to reveal my predictions for what’s the come for nominations for the 93rd Academy Awards. While it should’ve been a month ago, they have pushed every award show to a later date with how the Golden Globes and the Critics Choice Awards aired the past two weeks. This year wasn’t too hard to know what’ll get nominated, despite not being the best year since not a lot came out. Like every year, there’s a high chance of seeing surprises that come out of nowhere that was probably a dark horse pick for anyone. Though the toughest category everybody is struggling to pick who gets in is Best Supporting Actress, just based on the recent winners from other ceremonies.I have some easy frontrunners already, but that won’t be revealed until next month.

The only categories that won’t show up are Documentary Feature, Documentary- Short Subject, Animated Short Film, and Live-Action Short Film because I have seen none of them this past year and I’m more interested in the other categories. They will present the nominations on Monday morning, March 15, so check out my predictions for the upcoming Oscar nominations.
