Oscar Analysis: Final Predictions - Wins, Robberies, & Imposters
The day has come! The following are my final predictions for this year’s Oscars that will be happening this Sunday. In each category, I put what Will Win, Should Win, Got Robbed and Shouldn’t Be There. There are times that I was a coward and couldn't pick a nominee because they are all deserving. There were other categories where I did not see each nomination and did not feel right choosing. Enjoy these picks.
