I can’t believe that time of the year is almost over, in two days the Oscars will finally be announced. It has been a very interesting race this year, especially in the Best Picture since there isn’t a clear front-runner. A few weeks ago my friend/podcast co-host SuperMarcey posted her predictions who she thinks might win and I’ve decided to do the same as well. This are picks are who I believe will win in this year’s awards. enjoy!
