ON LOCATION TOURS 2019 OSCAR PREDICTIONS

Missed the Golden Globes? Forgot about the SAG Awards? Let?s recap the awards season so far and then break down the big categories for the Oscars to see who has the best chances going into the hostless ceremony on February 24th.

Netflix

Best Picture

Black Panther

BlacKkKlansman

Bohemian Rhapsody

The Favourite

Green Book

Roma

A Star Is Born

Vice

This year, there?s no clear favorite (no pun intended). Roma and The Favourite tie for the most nominations this year, so that puts both films in a good place. With Green Book winning awards for Best Picture at the Golden Globes as well as the Producers Guild Awards, it also has a good chance. Most recently, Black Panther won the Best Ensemble award at the SAG Awards. However, Roma won the award for Best Picture at the Critics Choice Awards, and our gut tells us this is the one to watch.

Netflix

Best Director

Spike Lee – BlacKkKlansman

Pawel Pawilikowski – Cold War

Yorgos Lanthimos – The Favourite

Alfonso Cuaron – Roma

Adam McKay – Vice

This one is more straightforward. Alfonso Cuaron has won the Golden Globe, Critics Choice, and Directors Guild awards so far, so his next step should be Oscar.

20th Century Fox

Best Actor

Christian Bale – Vice

Bradley Cooper – A Star Is Born

Willem Dafoe – At Eternity?s Gate

Rami Malek – Bohemian Rhapsody

Viggo Mortensen – Green Book

There?s two in the race for this one! Bale has a Golden Globe and a Critics Choice Award for his portrayal of Dick Cheney, and Malek has a Golden Globe and a SAG Award for playing Freddie Mercury. We?re giving the slight edge to Rami Malek since the members of SAG align more with the Academy, but it?s anyone?s game.
