The Oscar nominations are tomorrow morning and aside from La La Land racking up a ton of nominations, not much else seems certain. How many Best Picture nominees will we get? I have the 10 listed that I think have a strong chance of being nominated, but I think we’ll get 8, with Fences and Nocturnal Animals not making the cut. The acting races seem locked, with the exception of actress, but there’s one spot in each that feels like it could go to something shocking.
I’ll be asleep when the nominations are announced but I assume these oscar predictions will be 100% right 😉
