Academy Awards 2020 winners predictions: Best Picture, Director, Acting & Screenplay categories (the above the line categories)

It's not an easy Oscar season! And then preferential balloting might change what we think we already know when it comes to Best Picture category. Precursors dictate 1917 is going to win (it took home the PGA, the BAFTA and the Golden Golden for Best Film / Motion Picture - Drama in GG case), but there's a lot of widespread passion for Parasite and I do believe it will get a lot of #1 and/or #2 votes and that's what makes a Best Picture winner. Jojo Rabbit could also upset since the AMPAS loves WWII movies and a good sentimental movie (plus, the guilds clearly loved Jojo Rabbit and let's not forget ALL THE BRANCHES pick Best Picture). Best Original Screenplay will be a tight race between Parasite, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and Marriage Story and I can see any of them winning! The acting categories feel locked to me, except Best Actress and I'm predicting a Johansson upset there! Best Director and Best Picture will split this year, so if Parasite wins, then 1917's director wins Best Director and the same the other way (Jojo Rabbit's director is not nominated, which is a shame, but in that case, Mendes wins for 1917). A Best Picture dark horse: Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, since I feel many people WANT it to win...!
So, just have a look at my Academy Awards 2020 winners predictions:









So, I still have doubts about Best Picture, Best Actress and Best Adapted Screenplay... but I guess I'll stick with this predictions until Sunday and I'll not change them because of peer pressure or Oscar predictions foruns I use to read! Let's see how it goes!
Visual and sound categories (the below the line categories) coming tomorrow!

TOP 35 Actors and Actresses Under 35 Working Today - 2017

The almost annual TOP 35 Actors and Actresses Under 35 Working Today is out, with me considering the performers' performances of 2016 also. We have a few changes since last year's list, with Greta Gerwig toping the list thanks to her last 3 great performances in Mistress America , Maggie's Plan and the Oscar buzzy acting turn in 20th Century Women . Scarlett Johansson comes second with her latest distinguished performance being in 2014 ( Under the Skin ), but she managed to be at the spotligh this year thanks to her fine turns in critically acclaimed movies: Hail, Caesar! , Captain America: Civil War , The Jungle Book (voice) and Sing (voice). Emily Blunt adds another great performance to her resume in The Girl on the Train and she comes third, while Elle Fanning 's turning into one of the finest actresses and she's getting to play more adult and complex parts like The Neon Demon  and 20th Century Women 's (her two best performances since Super 8 ).

Academy Awards 2027 nominees predictions: all categories (2nd ROUND)

Now that the Fall film festival has passed, it's time to make some changes in the Oscar predictions charts: La bola negra is on a winning strike taking home the TIFF's People Choice Award; The movies I Play Rocky and Elsinore revealed themselves as huge crowd-pleasers and can be extremely viable Best Picture candidates; Neon's has found its big Oscar player (Luca Guadagnino's Artificial ) and Paper Tiger got more enthusiastic word from New York and London; the unexpected A24's documentary You Can See Everything is (currently) the most well-reviewed movie of the year and it's on track to become a truly unexpected box-office hit; Lee Chang-dong's Possible Love entered Best International Film race and it can have nice shots in screenplay and directing (according to reviews), suprassing the buzz of early favorites All of a Sudden and Fjord ; Digger is a bomb and not a promising Oscar vehicle; Sense and Sensibility is doing well with critics and it is project...
