It’s that time of year again: Oscars time!  Conan O’Brien will be hosting the ceremony this year, his first time doing so.

Here are my predictions for the 97th Academy Awards! The ones that I think SHOULD win will be in RED, the ones that I think WILL win will be in BLUE, and if they’re both the same, they will be both RED AND BLUE. I have left my picks for Best Animated Feature, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best Actor, Best Actress, and Best Picture for the end.

Let me know your thoughts!
