2019 Stars & Popcorn List of Oscar Predictions (and Winners)
Oscar Predictions by Film Geeks for Film Geeks!
The Academy Awards are nearly upon us, which means it’s time for Stars & Popcorn to once again bring you, my adoring fans, my 2019 Oscar predictions! 2018 might have been a pretty big year, but it’s going nothing on 2019 as one of the biggest movies of the years, Black Panther battles for a place in history against some truly incredible films. Which means I’m in a particularly tight spot where I have to decide whether to make picks with my head or my heart. So, just like last year, I’m going to be offering up picks for who I think will win each category as well as who I want to win. That’s why you’ll see below each category that there’s a prediction of who the winner will be along with a place for who the winner should be. So, after weeks of analysis and throwing some darts randomly at a board, here are Stars & Popcorn’s 2018 Oscar Predictions!*
Now updated to include the winners as well!
*Stars & Popcorn is not responsible for any losses you incur in your Oscar betting pool. I’m a film geek, not a profit. Plus I have no idea what the Academy is thinking half the time either.
