Oscar nominations are coming out on March 15.
Not gonna lie, the past year was not exactly the best for me with movie watching. I think just the general dreadfulness of the pandemic made it difficult to be invested in films. Don't take this as me slamming the films though.
But I wanted to give out my annual Oscar predictions. Again, for Best Picture, I'm listing ten films though I, again, won't be surprised if they only do eight or nine nominees.
These choices are made through my own weird talley system.
While I usually do predictions for all the categories (except short subjects films) this year I'm only doing best picture, directing, acting, and writing.
