Oscar Awards 2020 Predictions / Dreams

The Academy Oscar Awards 2020 Predictions / Dreams


It's finally that time again seemingly already of final battles of cinematic achievement. It can easily be said that this is some of the finest batches of films / components with in them so it'll be a really close, and understandable, call within a few...and happy with most. And a season where I've seen the most too which makes it that much understandable. Without further ado what they are, who I think will, and who I would want to win for most major:

Best Picture:
- “Ford v Ferrari”
- “The Irishman”
- “Jojo Rabbit”
- “Joker”
- “Little Women”
- “Marriage Story”
- “1917”
- “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood”
- “Parasite”

Who Will: This is an extremely tight one, as most of the show will be , between Joker vs 1917 vs Once Upon A Time In Hollywood clean sweeping in most awards with some dark horse potential of Parasite, The Irishman, and Little Women. I still think that,of the sweep, it'll either be 1917 with the strongest lead and either Joker or Once Hollywood second...should be interesting.

Who Should: As said a close one but of the bunch I'd have to go with Hollywood or Joker kudos to Irish, Marriage, or Parasite however
Lead Actor:
- Antonio Banderas, “Pain and Glory”
- Leonardo DiCaprio, “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood”
- Adam Driver, “Marriage Story”
- Joaquin Phoenix, “Joker”
- Jonathan Pryce, “The Two Popes”

Who Will: Real talk there's been so many wins to date that it's probably a thing where another Joker will win for Phoenix...however if that's viewed as typical DiCaprio or Driver make strong cases too.

Who Should: For all that is society please, Phoenix the Joker although I wouldn't be upset with either...
Lead Actress:
- Cynthia Erivo, “Harriet”
- Scarlett Johansson, “Marriage Story”
- Saoirse Ronan, “Little Women”
- Charlize Theron, “Bombshell”
- Renee Zellweger, “Judy”

Who Will: This one's tricky... statistics would show it's Zellweger but almost close for Johansson or Ronan too. A bit of dark horse Theron.

Who Should: Actually probably Theron impressed me the most although after that, Johansson or even Erivo.
Supporting Actor:
- Tom Hanks, “A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood”
- Anthony Hopkins, “The Two Popes”
- Al Pacino, “The Irishman”
- Joe Pesci, “The Irishman”
- Brad Pitt, “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood”

Who Will: Without much doubts at all, Pitt for his powerhouse turn in Hollywood. However if not that anyone from The Irishman.

Who Should: Exactly as said above!! Wouldn't be too upset with Hanks Rogers either.
Supporting Actress:
- Kathy Bates, “Richard Jewell”
- Laura Dern, “Marriage Story”
- Scarlett Johansson, “Jojo Rabbit”
- Florence Pugh, “Little Women”
- Margot Robbie, “Bombshell”

Who Will: This one's a bit trickier but things have been seeming Dern is the favorite. Possibly Pugh or Robbie.... or Johansson although her up for main category may make this an instant no.

Who Should: I would be totally happy with Dern too or Johansson...some I definitely don't think should be up there at all.
Director:
- Martin Scorsese, “The Irishman”
- Todd Phillips, “Joker”
- Sam Mendes, “1917”
- Quentin Tarantino, “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood”
- Bong Joon Ho, “Parasite”

Who Will: This one's as tightly close as the rest ...it may trend towards best picture also does so Mendes or Phillips but really its hard to say .

Who Should: Tarantino or Scorsese were easily the most impressive but also it feels like this is something for Joon Ho .
Animated Feature:
    - “How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World,” Dean DeBlois
    - “I Lost My Body,” Jeremy Clapin
    - “Klaus,” Sergio Pablos
    - “Missing Link,” Chris Butler
    - “Toy Story 4,”  Josh Cooley
Who Will: Pixar or Disney usually has this on lock, especially the Toy Stories, although Klaus and I Lost My Body have been getting some traction.

Who Should: As a fan, Toy Story of course although How To Train Your Dragon and Klaus were damn good too.
Adapted Screenplay:
- “The Irishman,” Steven Zaillian
- “Jojo Rabbit,” Taika Waititi
- “Joker,” Todd Phillips, Scott Silver
- “Little Women,” Greta Gerwig
- “The Two Popes,” Anthony McCarten

Who Will: Once again a best picture thing especially Joker / Irishman / Women...however Jojo Rabbit's been popular in the undercard

Who Should: Joker without a doubt for its inventiveness
Original Screenplay:
- “Knives Out,” Rian Johnson
- “Marriage Story,” Noah Baumbach
- “1917,” Sam Mendes and Krysty Wilson-Cairns
- “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,” Quentin Tarantino
- “Parasite,” Bong Joon-ho, Jin Won Han

Who Will: See above... best picture spilloff 1917 vs Once Hollywood vs Joker vs even moreso Parasite here.

Who Should: This seems like a great place to honor the originality of Parasite but really Knives Out should get it for that regard too to honor Johnson.
Cinematography:
- “The Irishman,” Rodrigo Prieto
- “Joker,” Lawrence Sher
- “The Lighthouse,” Jarin Blaschke
- “1917,” Roger Deakins
- “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,” Robert Richardson

Who Will: This one seems more clearly narrowed in on Irishman or 1917 but sure Once Hollywood and Joker are possible too.

Who Should: The Lighthouse for its only nom!! Btu would be happy with either of those... Once Hollywood or Joker most of al
Visual Effects:
- “Avengers Endgame”
- “The Irishman”
- “1917”
- “The Lion King”
- “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker”
Who Will: It's hard to say.... traditional thinking would give this to The Lion King for their love of Favreau or Irishman or 1917 for other, here a bit trolly, praises...however maybe they'll honor the end of a saga.

Who Should: While would be happy with Star Wars of course(more apt for not-listed-sound), this is the place for Endgame give the MCU what it deserves!!

Let's see how it all goes gonna be interesting!
