With the Oscar nominations coming out on Jan. 23, here are my predictions. Sadly I haven't seen a lot of these films. 2018 was not a good moving going year for me. Here's hoping I fix that this for 2019.
Anyway here are my predictions:
BEST PICTURE: I'm doing ten because that's their maximum. I won't be surprised if there's only 8 or 9.

BlacKkKlansman
