Hi Everyone!
If you are as obsessed with the Oscars as I am, then you will know that today is the day of the 90th Academy Awards!
I have watched the Oscars every year for as long as I can remember. Although they are long and often seen as just a popularity contest, I can’t help but get excited when Oscar season rolls around. I think my love for this awards show stems from my own undying hope that I will get to attend the Academy Awards one day, maybe even give that acceptance speech that I’ve been planning since I was six years old. Or it could be that I just enjoy cheering for my favorite movies.
Whatever the case may be, I always try to predict who I think will win and who will go home empty handed. I am guilty every year of not seeing every movie nominated, but I still like to guess and vote to see if I’m right. Sometimes these guesses are based on reviews and box office trends, or based on my own opinion, and sometimes they are just random when I haven’t heard anything about the category. Below I’ve included my guesses for the top categories so we can compare and see if I’m right during the show tonight.
