It’s that time of year when everybody attempts to predict the results of this evening’s Oscar ceremony.
It some ways it is a tricky thing to do. Outside of the fact that no one really understands the differences between sound mixing and sound editing.
Do you say who you think should win or do you try and predict who the Academy will vote for (anybody who’s white essentially).
So therefore each category will have three answers; who will win, who should win and where appropriate who should have been nominated… with the exception of the short film categories which will be predicted using the same technique as placing a bet on the Grand National i.e. which one has the best name!
