Posted November 24, 20168 yr So today marks two months until the Oscar nominations are announced :D I think we have all the trailers now, the reviews are coming in and the movies are gradually being released so let's start the prediction game that I ran last year. A couple of points are scored for each nominee guessed correctly and I shall give a bonus five for each WINNER you can guess correctly before the nominations are out. You can edit as much as you like before the deadline of let's say 22nd January but please make me aware of the edits! BEST PICTURE (up to 10) BEST DIRECTOR (5) BEST ACTOR (5) BEST ACTRESS (5) BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR (5) BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS (5) An expansion on last year when I don't think I included director. If there's enough demand for anymore categories, perhaps we could add them in (animated feature?). My own predictions will come very shortly so GO GO GO
November 24, 20168 yr Author Best Picture "Arrival" "Fences" "Jackie" "La La Land" *WINNER* "Lion" "Manchester By The Sea" "Moonlight" "Silence" --above are my first 8 picks, the two below round it up to 10-- "Loving" "Sully" Best Director Barry Jenkins "Moonlight" Clint Eastwood "Sully" Damien Chazelle "La La Land" *WINNER* Denis Villenueve "Arrival" Martin Scorsese "Silence" Best Actor Andrew Garfield "Silence" Casey Affleck "Manchester By The Sea" *WINNER* Denzel Washington "Fences" Joel Edgerton "Loving" Ryan Gosling "La La Land" Best Actress Amy Adams "Arrival" Annette Bening "20th Century Women" Emma Stone "La La Land" Jessica Chastain "Miss Sloane" Natalie Portman "Jackie" *WINNER* Best Supporting Actor Dev Patel "Lion" Jeff Bridges "Hell Or High Water" *WINNER* Kevin Costner "Hidden Figures" Liam Neeson "Silence" Mahershala Ali "Moonlight" Best Supporting Actress Greta Gerwig "20th Century Women" Michelle Williams "Manchester By The Sea" Naomie Harris "Moonlight" Nicole Kidman "Lion" Viola Davis "Fences" *WINNER* Feels really hard to pick a winner for supporting actor, definitely the category I struggled with the most :lol:
November 24, 20168 yr I will do this later but I must say Jessica in Miss Sloane is by far the best I've seen this year. Natalie Portman's accent in Jackie ruined the film for me it was so off, even though the rest of the performance was bad. I can see Amy Adams missing out a 6th year :(
November 24, 20168 yr Will give this a go now! Supporting Actor definitely feels the hardest currently!
November 24, 20168 yr Best Picture Arrival Fences Hell By High Water Jackie La La Land *WINNER* Manchester By The Sea Moonlight Silence --above are my first 8 picks, the two below round it up to 10-- 9th: Lion 10th: Hidden Figures Best Director Barry Jenkins- Moonlight Damien Chazelle- La La Land *WINNER* Denzel Washington- Fences Kenneth Lonergan- Manchester By The Sea Martin Scorsese- Silence Best Actor Andrew Garfield- Silence Casey Affleck- Manchester By The Sea *WINNER* Denzel Washington- Fences Ryan Gosling- La La Land Warren Beatty- Rules Don't Apply Best Actress Amy Adams- Arrival Annette Bening- 20th Century Women Emma Stone- La La Land Natalie Portman- Jackie *WINNER* Ruth Negga- Loving Chastain/Huppert could both easily end up here as well Best Supporting Actor Jeff Bridges- Hell Or High Water Liam Neeson- Silence *WINNER* Lucas Hedges- Manchester By The Sea Mahershala Ali- Moonlight Mykelti Williamson- Fences Who the heck knows how this category will end up :drama: Best Supporting Actress Helen Mirren- Eye In The Sky (I'm between a few actresses for Slot 5! Felicity Jones, Greta Gerwing and Janelle Monae just missing out, wouldn't be surprised if someone comes out of nowhere and claims a nomination!) Michelle Williams- Manchester By The Sea Naomie Harris- Moonlight Nicole Kidman- Lion Viola Davis- Fences *WINNER*

It sounds so similar to Jackie in the trailer and clips.
November 25, 20168 yr Off how? Inconsistent? It sounds so similar to Jackie in the trailer and clips. She comes in and out of it a lot, especially when raising her voice.
November 26, 20168 yr I keep reading that Emma Stone is actually tipped to win this year Best Actress category, and read very little about Natalie Portman.

January 23, 20178 yr Author BUMP. Last chance to get predictions / edits in, might make a couple myself before midnight.
January 23, 20178 yr BEST PICTURE Moonlight La La Land Manchester by the Sea Fences Arrival Lion --------------------------------- Hidden Figures Loving Silence Hell Or High Water BEST ACTOR Casey Affleck – “Manchester by the Sea“ Ryan Gosling – “La La Land“ Denzel Washington – “Fences“ Joel Edgerton ''Loving'' Andrew Garfield – “Silence“ BEST ACTRESS Natalie Portman – “Jackie“ Emma Stone – “La La Land“ Amy Adams – “Arrival“ Meryl Streep – “Florence Foster Jenkins“ Isabelle Huppert – “Elle“ BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR Mahershala Ali – “Moonlight“ Aaron Taylor-Johnson – “Nocturnal Animals“ Hugh Grant – “Florence Foster Jenkins“ Lucas Hedges - ''Manchester By The Sea'' Dev Patel – “Lion“ BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS Viola Davis – “Fences“ Nicole Kidman – “Lion“ Octavia Spencer – “Hidden Figures“ Michelle Williams – “Manchester by the Sea“ Naomie Harris – “Moonlight“ BEST DIRECTOR Damien Chazelle – “La La Land“ Kenneth Lonergan – “Manchester by the Sea“ Denis Villeneuve – “Arrival“ Barry Jenkins – “Moonlight“ Mel Gibson – “Hacksaw Ridge“ I'm being BOLD and predicting Moonlight will win Best Picture, having seen neither it or La La Land, don't think there's any competition beyond that though. Best Actor seems like a lock for Casey, Actress could be Emma or Natalie but I think Isabelle is going to be a bit of a dark horse (watch her not even get nominated). Supporting wise it seems a lot more clear cut, Remy and Analise should win with ease.
January 24, 20178 yr Author Best Picture "Arrival" "Fences" "Jackie" "La La Land" *WINNER* "Lion" "Manchester By The Sea" "Moonlight" "Silence" --above are my first 8 picks, the two below round it up to 10-- "Loving" "Sully" Best Director Barry Jenkins "Moonlight" Clint Eastwood "Sully" Damien Chazelle "La La Land" *WINNER* Denis Villenueve "Arrival" Martin Scorsese "Silence" Best Actor Andrew Garfield "Silence" Casey Affleck "Manchester By The Sea" *WINNER* Denzel Washington "Fences" Joel Edgerton "Loving" Ryan Gosling "La La Land" Best Actress Amy Adams "Arrival" Annette Bening "20th Century Women" Emma Stone "La La Land" Jessica Chastain "Miss Sloane" Natalie Portman "Jackie" *WINNER* Best Supporting Actor Dev Patel "Lion" Jeff Bridges "Hell Or High Water" *WINNER* Kevin Costner "Hidden Figures" Liam Neeson "Silence" Mahershala Ali "Moonlight" Best Supporting Actress Greta Gerwig "20th Century Women" Michelle Williams "Manchester By The Sea" Naomie Harris "Moonlight" Nicole Kidman "Lion" Viola Davis "Fences" *WINNER* Feels really hard to pick a winner for supporting actor, definitely the category I struggled with the most :lol: Gonna say HIDDEN FIGURES in and SILENCE out for BP Director, CLINT EASTWOOD out, MEL GIBSON in Andrew Garfield up for Hacksaw Ridge over Silence Isabelle in over Annette Aaron Taylor Johnson in over Kevin Costner, with Dev Patel now winning And finally Octavia Spencer to replace Greta
