96th Academy Awards Results!

Well, the 96th Academy Awards have ended and I’ve recovered from my abysmal score last year by predicting 13/23 correct this time! Not my best, but I’ll take it!

I don’t think there was any really surprising picks this year. I feel many categories were gonna be one of two winners and that may have helped with the predictions.

In terms of animation, Studio Ghibli’s The Boy and the Heron won Best Animated Feature and War Is Over! Inspired by the Music of John and Yoko won Best Animated Short.

My 96th Academy Awards Predictions!

It’s that time of year again: Oscars time!  Jimmy Kimmel will be hosting the ceremony for the fourth time. After my abysmal score last year, I’m hoping I do better this year!

Here are my predictions for the 96th 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!

95th Academy Awards Results!

Well, the 95th Academy Awards have ended and this time I didn’t get to watch it. That was probably for the best because surprisingly, I did the absolute worst in my predictions this year than I’ve ever done in my life: 8/23!!!

The Academy made a lot of surprising choices which I loved (such as Naatu Naatu winning Best Original Song and Brendan Fraser winning Best Actor), but I didn’t expect them to make those choices. Oh well, nowhere to go but up, I guess?

In terms of animation, Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio won Best Animated Feature and The Boy, the Mole, the Fox, and the Horse won Best Animated Short.

My 95th Academy Awards Predictions!

It’s that time of year again: Oscars time!  Jimmy Kimmel will be hosting the ceremony for the third time. Not to mention that this will be the first ceremony post-Will Smith slap!

Anyway, it’s time for my predictions for the 95th 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.

94th Academy Awards Results!

Alas, the 94th Academy Awards have ended and the biggest takeaway rom it is when Will Smith slapped Chris Rock after Chris made a joke about Jada’s hair loss. Besides that, the ceremony wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be, although I really hated how they ruined the We Don’t Talk About Bruno performance (and why did they perform it anyway?).

My score this year was 16/23 which is my second-best score! In terms of animation, Encanto won Best Animated Feature and The Windshield Wiper won Best Animated Short.

My 94th Academy Awards Predictions!

It’s that time of year again: Oscars time!  Interestingly enough, this year will be the first ceremony to feature official hosts since the 90th Academy Awards with Jimmy Kimmel. This year’s hosts will be Regina Hall, Amy Schumer, and Wanda Sykes.

This year will also feature two controversial elements. One, the two most popular films (as voted for by Twitter users) will be announced during the telecast as the “Oscars Fan Favorite”. And two, eight categories (Best Animated Short, Best Documentary Short, Best Film Editing, Best Live Action Short, Best Makeup and Hairstyling, Best Original Score, Best Production Design, and Best Sound) will not be awarded live and will instead be pre-taped an hour before the telecast.

I’m not in favor of either of these elements, but what can I do? Instead I will just move forward with my predictions for the 94th 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.
