94th Academy Award Predictions
It's that time of the year again when I make my Academy Award predictions. I ended up seeing all the movies in the major categories. Don't you just hate it when people make their Oscar predictions without even seeing the movies? Keeping this in mind, I will not make any predictions for Best Animated Short, Best Documentary Short Subject and Best Live Action Short Film as I didn't see any of the films in these categories. I also won't make any predictions for Best Documentary Feature as I saw only one film in this category. I saw only three movies in the International Feature category but I think the winner will come from one of the three I saw. Fingers crossed that this year's ceremony will be much better than last year's which was the most boring one ever!
