Oscars 2020
It's one of my favorite times of the year, and I have to say that 2019 was a fantastic year for film! After much deliberation and many, many viewings, here are my predictions for this year's winners! I predict great things for Joker and Parasite, but ultimately I think this is going to be 1917's big night! Let's see how many I can get right! Last year I did pretty well, so we'll see if I can replicate it. Check back Monday for the results!
*UPDATED: The winners are in! Winners are in BLUE and my incorrect guesses are in
