The Holdovers (c) Focus Features
We are in the final stretch for Oscars. This is the time for you lovely lot to catch up on all the nominees and make up your minds on which film is most deserving and which one is your favorite (most of the time, the two don’t match up). We did find out who the DGA chose this weekend (congrats to Christopher Nolan), but we also have the Independent Spirit Awards, PGA Awards and the SAG Awards coming up to keep us occupied until the Oscars on Sunday, March 10. Here are my predictions of who will the Oscars as of today, in order of likelihood to win. My next Oscars predictions at the beginning of March will even more specific with percentages, like last year (you can see how well I did here).
Enjoy.
