Tonight sees the biggest and most glistening awards ceremony take place in Hollywood, the 2020 Academy Awards, also known as the Oscars. We’ve done tons of reporting over the past few weeks but never put together a definitive list of who we think is going to win. We’ve corrected that with this post.
Parasite
Let’s make this clear from the outset, this is who we **think** will win rather than who we think **should** win. If it were the case of who we wanted to win then Parasite would nail it in every category that it is nominated in. We don’t necessarily agree with the below, but taking in a number of factors, including having seen everything ourselves, the odds and the general buzz we’ve read in the lead-up. Of course, we could be wrong – this is purely our opinion.
The only ones we’ve taken a punt on is the animated and live-action short, purely because, in full disclosure, we haven’t seen any of them
We’ll see how we did with our predictions come Sunday evening. Our predictions are highlighted in BOLD.
