2023 Oscars Predictions

It's that time of the year again! Award season is upon us and the Oscars nominations are out. The following is a list of all the nominees and highlighted is my prediction for that category. There was nothing that really surprised me and there were no big snubs like last year (Denis Villeneuve for Best Director on Dune ahem). I am so excited to watch the Oscars this year on March 12 and cheer on the likes of Austin Butler, Michelle Yeoh and Ke Huy Quan. Everything Everywhere All at Once is easily my favourite film going into the Oscars with 11 nominations and I am admittedly very biased in my predictions. Every year I call these predictions but I think they have become more 'wants' than predicitons.
