Another year, another of my utterly fearless Oscars predictions. As always, it is hard to predict the Academy Awards now celebrating its 95th year. Just when you think one has the momentum, out comes another nominee to steal the thunder. For example, the Best Supporting Actress category. We all felt that Angela Bassett would take home the gold for her fantastic work as Queen Ramonda in “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” and then out of the blue, Jamie Lee Curtis stopped her momentum for her SAG win as the tax auditor in “Everything Everywhere All At Once.” And let’s not even talk about the always-hard-to-predict documentary short and live action short categories.
But I tried. With my trusty crystal ball. We’ll see on March 12th if my predictions are accurate when the Academy Award winners are announced.
Watch the video for my predictions of the top categories. Read more below for my full Oscar 2023 predictions.
Here are my complete Oscar 2023 Predictions in all categories!
Good Luck on your Oscar pool!
