Following what has felt like hundreds of awards from business teams and media and months of anticipation, the Oscars are upon us. Each of 24 classes will be handed out on Sunday night, February 24, during a ceremony hosted by… well, no on in particular. Maybe. However, who will win? Scroll down to our predictions in each class from Best Picture all the way to Best Live Action Short. The nominees are listed with our projected winners, in sequence of their racetrack odds.
As of the writing more than 6,000 registered Gold Derby users have chimed in with their Oscar picks. That includes the Expert journalists we’ve polled from leading press outlets, the Editors who pay awards yearlong for Gold Derby, the Top 24 Users who obtained the greatest scores predicting last year’s Oscar winners, and the All-Star Top 24 who had the best forecast scores when you combine the previous two year’s Oscar results. Last, of course, is our range of routine Users, among whom will almost certainly set the remainder of our predictions.
Some years a strong business consensus forms around a single film, as when”Argo” (2012) and”Birdman” (2014) swept the major guild prizes in their way to Oscar successes for Best Picture. However, this year was divided. “Green Book” was looking good after it won Best Picture at the Producers Guild Awards, but then director Peter Farrelly was snubbed at the Oscars. “Black Panther” won the SAG Award for the ensemble cast, but it too underperformed in the Oscar nominations.
Then”Roma” won the Directors Guild Award and then followed that up with a BAFTA success for Best Picture. And it’s tied to”The Favourite” as the year’s most nominated movie at the Oscars. So it is our front-runner for Best Picture going into Oscar weekend. However, films have appeared strong in recent years only to be tripped up in the finish line. “The Revenant” (2015) looked like the top contender until it was angry by”Spotlight” And right then”La La Land” (2016) looked like it had everything sewn up till it had been bested by”Moonlight” in among the biggest upsets ever.
