Oscar Nomination Predictions

Watch Movies TV -

This year, I have been busy working on my year end report, and busy at work and other things – so couple with the fact that it was a very short Oscar season this year, meant I didn’t have as much time as normal to spend on my Oscar predictions. So, here they are, no explanation, no longshots, etc. – just what I think is going to be nominated in each category. I’m probably wrong on many predictions – but whatever. I will do my usual, more extensive Winner Predictions – but for now, this is what I think will be in the running.
