 By Matt Neglia The 89th Academy Awards representing the year 2016 in film has officially come to a close. We hope you enjoyed our podcast recap here as well as my article on how "Moonlight" managed to pull off one of the biggest upsets of all time here. It was quite memorable to say the least.
But now, we have our winner of the 2017 "Predict The Oscars" Contest to unveil. Click below to see if you ranked with the top.
Comments
 By Matt Neglia Forget about the controversy for a moment. Take a step back from what transpired at first with presumed frontrunner "La La Land" taking the stage to claim the Best Picture prize and hearing the producers give their speeches. A bigger story (Ok, maybe not to most) happened here and that is the fact that when all the shenanigans were over with, "Moonlight" managed to beat "La La Land" for Best Picture.
How did this happen? Click below to find out.  By Matt Neglia So that just happened....
In what will go down in history as probably the most shocking Oscar moment EVER, "La La Land" was announced as the Best Picture winner by a confused Warren Beatty who was looking off to the sides and stalling for time as he had the wrong envelope in his hands (It was Emma Stone's envelope for Best Actress), after winning 6 awards and being the presumed winner for the season, Beatty made the decision to announce "La La Land" as the winner and the team took the stage to accept their award. After a few moments and some sweet (Now awkward) winning speeches, the true winner was revealed to be "Moonlight." The cast and crew of that film took the stage while the "La La Land" crew awkwardly exited, as the audience and the people watching at home tried to get a handle on what had just occurred. There will be so much to discuss on this historic moment and although I'm very happy for "Moonlight," I fear this win will forever be considered a fluke. I cannot wait to discuss this on the podcast this week and for all of you to listen. Thank you so much for following me live on twitter tonight and be sure to stay tuned in the post Oscar season over here at Next Best Picture for more to come on what these wins all mean historically and more moving forward. For now, click below to see the full list of winners from this evening.  By Matt Neglia Here is the live post for the 89th Academy Award winners.

For now, I'd love to hear your No Guts, No Glory predictions for tonight. Click below to see mine and share yours in the comments. Enjoy the show!  By Matt Neglia It's all come down to this. 24 hours to go until the big show. You have seen all the posts. Listened to all of the podcasts. Well now, the team over at Next Best Picture is finally ready to share with you our picks for the 89th Academy Awards.
Click below to see our predictions along with what we feel should win and be sure to enter into our "Predict The Oscars" contest before the ceremony begins tomorrow night.  By Matt Neglia And here we are. This is it. The final two categories before the 89th Academy Awards. Best Director and Best Picture. Before we get to my in-depth analysis of these two awards and how I think they will go on Sunday, please take the time to check out the other articles I have posted these past couple of days on the other categories:
Best Foreign Language, Best Documentary & Best Animated Film Best Original Song & Best Original Score Best Film Editing & Best Cinematography Best Sound Editing/Mixing & Best Visual Effects Best Original & Adapted Screenplay Best Makeup, Best Costume Design & Best Production Design Best Actor, Actress, Supporting Actor & Supporting Actress Without any further adieu, click below for my in-depth analysis  By Matt Neglia One acting category is pretty much locked at this year's Oscars unless if Hell were prepared to freeze over. The other three categories have their favorites but present some unique scenarios which may or may not play out. This is my in-depth analysis of the acting categories for the 89th Academy Awards and who I predict will ultimately walk away with Oscar gold.
Click below to read my in-depth analysis. Predicting The 89th Academy Awards: Best Makeup & Hairstyling, Production Design & Costume Design2/22/2017  By Matt Neglia Our final three tech awards for the 89th Academy Awards are here. I was anxiously awaiting the results of the guilds to tell me something with these categories and I think I have my mind made up on at least 2 out of the three categories. With only a few days left until the big show, here is my in-depth analysis of Best Makeup & Hair Styling, Production Design and Costume Design for this year's Oscar.
Click below to read my in-depth analysis.  By Matt Neglia With the tech awards officially out of the way, we now turn our eyes to the above the line categories. This year's screenplay categories feel like a done deal in one category while the other is practically a coin flip.
Click below to see my in-depth analysis. Predicting The 89th Academy Awards: Best Sound Mixing, Best Sound Editing & Best Visual Effects2/20/2017  By Matt Neglia Continuing our march towards the 89th Academy Awards, I now look at two of the hardest categories to predict this year with Sound Editing/Mixing and one of the easiest ones to call - Best Visual Effects. Admittedly, I'll be relying on stats and history to help out my predictions here and there will be a lot of stats to scroll through. But if you're interested in winning your office Oscar pool, I recommend you take a look.
Click below for my in-depth analysis.  By Matt Neglia It's that time. With only one week away, it's time for you to predict the 2017 Oscars. Please click below to fill out the form and send in your predictions. Only one submission will be accepted, so please be sure to make sure you fill out all fields and that you're confident with your choices. The winner will be notified by email. No submissions will be accepted once the ceremony starts.
Thank you for everything you have done to help support Next Best Picture through this Oscar season. Click below to fill out the form and best of luck to you!  By Matt Neglia Two of the most interesting Oscars for cinephiles around the world are the Best Film Editing and Best Cinematography Oscars. Film Editing dictates the flow of a film and how its story is told. Cinematography are the images that stay with you for a lifetime. If either aspect is poor within a film, it ultimately fails. The Academy has done a great job of recognizing some of the standout works from this year and now it is time to see if the guilds, critics and various factors from this season will be able to help us predict the winners in both categories.
Click below for my in-depth analysis.  By Matt Neglia Best Original Song & Best Original Score at the Oscars are not as tied together in their wins as often as one would think. Only twice in the last 15 years have the two awards gone to the same film. It looks like we are heading for a year where the two awards will go to the same film and that film is a musical. How will it all shake down?
Click below for my in-depth analysis of the two categories.  By Matt Neglia Now that the BAFTA Awards are out of the way, it's now time to start analyzing all of the Oscar categories as we head towards the 89th Academy Awards on February 26th. As the days roll on, I will be analyzing each category and making my final predictions for the Oscars. Today, I take a look at the Best Foreign Language, Documentary and Animated Feature Oscars.
Click below to see my in depth analysis of each category.  By Matt Neglia Now that the dust has settled and the nominations for the 2017 Oscars have been announced, it is now time to take a look at each category and reflect on nominations.
Click below to see my reactions.  By Matt Neglia Here we are folks. The Oscar Nominations for the 89th Academy Awards have officially been announced and of course, "La La Land" leads the way with a record tying 14 nominations. Updates to the site will be happening throughout the week to reflect the news and I will be reaching out to the winner of the "Predict The Oscar Nominations Contest" this week as well, but please do let us know what your thoughts are on the nominations in the comments section.
Click below for the full list of nominations.  By Matt Neglia It all comes down to this. In less than a week, the Academy Of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences will announce the nominations for the 89th annual Academy Awards. We here at Next Best Picture have done our best to predict all 24 categories (Which can be found below) but now we want to hear what you think will get nominated.
Please take these next couple of days to enter into our contest to predict this year's Oscar Nominations. The winner will receive a random free digital copy of a movie and of course some insane bragging rights. The winner will be contacted by email if he/she has the highest number of correct nominations. In the event of a tie, the winner will be chosen randomly. Please check out our predictions below for reference and happy predicting!  Oscar ballots went out yesterday to Academy voters and will be due on January 13th, which is why the team over here at Next Best Picture have a few requests for the voters to consider while casting their ballots. It's true that many contenders are already being favored such as "La La Land," "Moonlight," & "Manchester By The Sea" but there are some that have either not performed well with the critics/guilds so far or have not come up at all that we feel deserve to be considered.
 By Matt Neglia The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts & Sciences have announced that Jimmy Kimmel will host the 2017 Oscars Ceremony on February 26th 2017.
