Yes, it is almost time to watch film actors, directors, producers, and writers award the newest minted Oscar winners to their colleagues and friends. Sunday will be the 90th Academy Awards, and unlike last year, there is now a whole team of us at Filmotomy who have made Oscar predictions for Sunday’s show. Listed below is our collective predictions, and then our individual predictions. The one interesting thing is, of the 7 of us who have made our predictions, only Best Picture doesn’t have a clear winner amongst us. We in fact came to a tie with 2 films, and 1 person picked a third film to win. That’s just how wide open the Best Picture race is this year.
