What a strange year it has been! I haven’t been able to write movie reviews since chipping a bone in my elbow. I hope to be back into doing them once I’ve healed. I didn’t get to review “The Outfit” (highly recommend with an Oscar-worthy performance by Mark Rylance) and “The Lost City” (entertaining fluff with Channing Tatum, Sandra Bullock, and Brad Pitt). Anyway, even though they’ll have to be pretty short, I am getting on with the predictions.
I am usually super confident about my choices, but this year is a big exception. If I get a few of these right, I will be happy. I was not able to see many of the nominated movies because of limited runs and exclusive streaming rights. Anyway, the following are what I think will win, not who I think should win.
PICTURE: The Power of the Dog (Coda would not be a surprise)
DIRECTOR: Jane Campion (nailed it)
ACTRESS: Jessica Chastain (nailed it)
ACTOR: Will Smith (nailed it)
SUPPORTING ACTRESS: Ariana DeBose (nailed it)
SUPPORTING ACTOR: Troy Koster (nailed it)
ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY: Belfast (nailed it)
ADAPTED SCREENPLAY: The Power of the Dog
ANIMATED FEATURE: Encanto (nailed it)
ORIGINAL SONG: Dos Oruguitas
ORIGINAL SCORE: Dune (nailed it)
SO THIS YEAR MY SCORE WAS 8 OUT OF 11 — NOT BAD FOR THIS CRAZY YEAR!!
What do you think? See you on the red carpet!
