Oscar Prediction Results 2020
Here is how I did (not great):
The big nine:
Best Picture-- 1917 WRONG it was Parasite (it is rare a foreign movie wins both)
Best Leading Man-- Joaquin Phoenix
Best Leading Lady-- Renee Zellweger
Best Supporting Actor-- Brad Pitt
Best Supporting Actress-- Laura Dern
Best Foreign Film-- Parasite
Best Director-- Sam Mendes WRONG it was director of Parasite Bong Joon-ho
Best Screenplay, Original-- Parasite
Best Screenplay, Adapted-- JoJo Rabbit (but it could be Little Women)
Some not very difficult calls:
Cinematography-- 1917 (see above)
Animated Feature-- Toy Story 4
Art Direction-- 1917 WRONG, it was Tarantino's Once Upon A Time... in Hollywood
Original Song-- (I'm Gonna) Love Me Again (but who actually gives a fuck?)
Film Editing-- Ford v. Ferrari
Sound Editing-- 1917 (always go with the loudest movie in this category) WRONG, I guess Ford v. Ferrari, the winner, was pretty loud too.
Sound Mixing-- 1917 (because sound editing is completely different from sound mixing and 1917 has them both down cold)
Visual Effects-- 1917 (OK, this is getting monotonous)
Score-- Joker
Here are the not easy at all rest:
Makeup-- Joker WRONG it was the nearly unwatchable Bombshell
Costume Design-- Little Women (but it could be Tarantino's best in a long time)
Documentary-- American Factory (but it could be Honeyland because that lost in Foreign Film category)
Here are the next to impossible to call:
Animated Short-- Hair Love (but it could be any of them)
Live Short-- The Neighbor's Window (but it could be any of them)
Documentary Short-- Learning to Skateboard one (but it could be any of them)
So, I only missed five, but two of them were in the big nine, Best Picture and Best Director. I like South Korean movies (except for the rampant incest) and I am happy this one won in many major categories. I guess I should go see it now.
I'm glad Pitt won. His was the only movie I liked last year.
