Each of 24 classes will be passed out on Sunday night, February 24, through a ceremony hosted by… well, no on in particular. Maybe. However, who will win? Scroll down to our predictions in every class from Greatest Picture all the way to Best Live Action Short. The nominees are listed with our projected winners, in sequence of their racetrack odds.
As of this writing more than Gold Derby users have chimed in with their Oscar picks. That includes the Expert journalists we’ve polled from leading media outlets, the Editors who pay awards year-round for Gold Derby, the Top 24 Users who obtained the highest scores calling last year’s Oscar winners, and the All-Star Top 24 who had the best forecast scores when you combine the previous two year’s Oscar outcomes. Last, of course, is our enormous assortment of Users, among whom will set the remainder of our predictions.
Several years a powerful business consensus forms around a single film, as when”Argo” (2012) and”Birdman” (2014) spanned the major guild prizes on their way to Oscar victories for Best Picture. However, this year has been divided. “Green Book” was looking good after it won Best Picture at the Producers Guild Awards, but then director Peter Farrelly was snubbed at the Oscars. “Black Panther” won the SAG Award for its ensemble cast, but it too underperformed in the Oscar nominations.
Then”Roma” won the Directors Guild Award and then followed up with a BAFTA success for Best Picture. And it is tied to”The Favourite” as the year’s most nominated film at the Oscars. So it is our front-runner for Best Picture going into Oscar weekend. But films have looked strong in recent years only to be triggered in the finish line. “The Revenant” (2015) appeared like the top contender until it was upset by”Spotlight” And right after that”La La Land” (2016) looked like it had everything sewn up till it had been bested by”Moonlight” in among the greatest upsets in history.
