Oscar Predictions: Final Pre-Nom Picks
Terence Johnson January 13, 2016 ArticleWell guys, D-Day is almost here. The Academy will be unveiling their nominations for the Oscars tomorrow and for once, we really don’t know all of what we will get.
Will the category fraud convo derail contenders like Mara, Tremblay, or Vikander? How many Best Picture nominees will we get? (I’m predicting 7 for the record) What about the tech categories were nearly any film could pop up? The mind boggles at the possibility. So with that, here are my final pre-nomination Oscar Predictions.
