This is the place to test out theories ahead of the Oscars with the last televised film-only awards, BAFTA, the last…

Since the creation of the SAG awards in 1995, there is a trend where if a film wins at SAG, PGA, and DGA, the chance of winning the Oscar skyrockets. In those fifteen years where they didn’t align, seven of those years saw the PGA winner also take the Oscar for Best Picture. So, this…

The Motion Picture Sound Editors are a chaotic group. With so many categories, it’s possible that the Oscar winner is already here and the winners of this group’s award will point that out to us. The Sound Editing category at the Oscars is most closely associated with this organization; however, Academy members are more likely…

We’ll do individual posts this week discussing our individual predictions and we’ll have a final set of predictions the Friday before the Oscars. Some of our contributors even provided commentary. I present that here…

Based on our predictions, here’s how we did (I changed two of mine in the days after this post was made, but I didn’t afford the others said opportunity, so I’m leaving them as previously predicted). Once again, it was an incredibly close competition. 1 correct prediction separated first and a tie for second with…

FOR AN OSCAR MORNING TRACKING SHEET, CLICK HERE. My predictions are in BOLD. It’s hard to know precisely how the Academy will handle this year’s announcements. We have the list of categories that will be announced and in which grouping, but we have no idea in what order they will be announced and we only…

This is not a placeholder post, but a post letting you know that my annual Oscar Morning article will be forthcoming.
