I don’t know if you’ve heard, but the Academy Awards are tomorrow night. The Oscars will be handed out in a little more than 24 hours, so it’s all about predictions right now. Well, predictions and anticipation as well. So, to help pass the time, we’re going to be focusing this weekend’s Awards Radar Community post on predictions. Namely, we want to know what your predictions are for tomorrow evening’s festivities. You’ve likely seen mine, but what fun is a one-sided conversation, after all? Today, it’s your turn to contribute some picks, if you so desire. I know I’m very curious to know where you all come down on Best Actress, to name one category.
Oscar has made their choices, but what do you think the pick in Actress is? Viola Davis? Frances McDormand? Carey Mulligan. Then there’s the below the line categories. Did any of you predict any upsets? If so, we want to know about them! Leave whatever you’d care to predict in the comments section. if you kick my ass, predictions-wise, you can earn a shout-out on an upcoming Awards Radar Podcast episode!
If you need a reminder, here are my picks for the Academy Awards:
Now, it’s your turn! Let us know your awards predictions and enjoy the show tomorrow!
Funnily enough Joey, my picks are exactly the same as yours except I’m going for The Father in Adapted Screenplay. I think Pinocchio may surprise in Makeup & Hairstyling but I’m not brave enough to go for it over Ma Rainey. Anyway, one of us will be getting 23/23!😂

Wins I would LOVE to see: “Husavik” winning Best Song and Carey Mulligan winning Best Actress
As noted on the last episode of our excellent podcast, we agree in a majority of categories. My only deviations would be Carey Mulligan for Actress, Wolfwalkers for Animated Feature, Mank for Costume Design, and Sound of Metal for Editing. More than anything, I’m just hoping that there’s no weird upset in Supporting Actor, because Daniel Kaluuya absolutely deserves that Oscar.
