Posted March 3, 20187 yr (this thread is for the actual Oscars and not Buzzjack Oscars!) And after months of speculation, we've finally reached the end of the 2017 Oscar season and the Oscars are 1am on Monday morning! Who do you think will win? Will there be any shocks? Will we get anything as memorable as last years f***-up?

March 3, 20187 yr Very excited for the musical performances (Sufjan and Keala especially - Mary's song could be quite a lovely moment too *.*) Not sure if I'll be able to stay up and watch it but I'll make sure to catch all the highlights, performances, speeches and viral moments for sure (another Best Picture f*** up with those presenters?!?!? *.*)!

Best Documentary Short: Heaven is a Traffic Jam Best Live Action Short: The Silent Child Which would leave the winners tally if I was right biggrin.gif La La Land is surely going to be the big winner of the night! The Shape of Water - 3 Blade Runner 2049 - 2 Darkest Hour - 2 Dunkirk - 2 A Fantastic Woman - 1 Baby Driver - 1 Beauty & The Beast - 1 Call Me By Your Name - 1 Coco - 1 Heaven is a Traffic Jam - 1 Icarus - 1 I, Tonya - 1 Lady Bird - 1 Phantom Thread - 1 Revolting Rhymes - 1 The Florida Project - 1 The Greatest Showman - 1 The Silent Child - 1 Three Billboards - 1 And who I want to win: will do this after I've seen Shape of Water which I'm gonna watch v. soon!
March 4, 20187 yr I definitely can't stay up, but I should be waking up as their finishing hopefully! :lol: I'm enjoying how Best Picture isn't a close run thing, I'd love to get another surprise winner like the last two years like Get Out or Dunkirk, of the two main contenders, I'm hoping for a Shape of Water win, though Three Billboards would be a good winner too (I reckon the traction it's gaining recently makes that a likely winner, it seems like the one that the academy would all go for, even without the Best Director nod) Lmao at the Best Picture presenters, I wonder if they're gonna do a deliberate muck up. Which would leave the winners tally if I was right biggrin.gif La La Land is surely going to be the big winner of the night! Something tells me you may be disappointed with Best Picture :thinking: :kink:
