So the Oscars were only a week ago but it's time to start getting the hype rolling for possible awards contenders next year. :kink: This'll be the general thread for the Oscars for 2020 as with last year, a place to discuss contenders, trailers, make predictions and critics awards etc as the season gets nearer! This year the Oscars are two weeks earlier than usual *.*

 

Here's a list of possible contenders and the names attached to help you with your predictions and to start forming a watch-list of your own:

(coming soon, Josh usually does this so if I'm doing it this year y'all have to deal with a delay x)

 

My first early predictions coming v. soon <3
