The 91st Academy Awards will be held this Sunday on February 24th 2019. After a whole year of thoughtful analysis, debate, arguing, stress, moments of joy and moments of defeat, it's all come down to this. All of the guilds are done, the critics have had their say and Oscar voting as of yesterday is officially over. Now, all that is left is to predict the winners. You've already heard some of our predictions on Episode 130, and you know who we want to win but now we want to hear from all of you! We are holding a contest to see who will get the most categories correct this Sunday. All categories must be guessed on with the submission deadline being the day of the awards, before the winners are announced. Click below to enter in your picks for the contest. Best of luck and enjoy the show!

As this divisive and often headache-inducing awards season comes to a close, a recurring phrase uttered all year among the team at Next Best Picture was “if I voted for the Oscars…” So, I decided to see what would happen not only if the Next Best Picture staff were all Oscar voters, but if we were the only Oscar voters. I polled our writers, and even did the famously-complicated preferential-style tally for Best Picture, just like the Academy. I now present the Academy Awards if they were decided exclusively by our team!

I know. I know. Is anything truly a lock on Oscar night? Shockers happen all the time. Contenders sweep the entire season, winning every award possible, like Jason Reitman's "Up In The Air" for Best Adapted Screenplay in 2009, and then out of the blue "Precious" wins on Oscar night. Since these posts are more rooted in stats than gut feeling (though, that sometimes plays a role as well), I think it's very fair to call certain categories locked and loaded for Oscar night on February 24th. There's not many but they do exist this year and while we wait for some of the final guilds to chime in for those categories, let's take a look at these. Click below to see my in-depth analysis on the categories I deem to be locks for the 91st Academy Awards and be sure to check out my previous article on the acting categories.

We have heard from the Critics Choice Awards, the Golden Globes, the Screen Actor's Guild Awards and most recently, the BAFTAs. Now, all that's left are the Academy Awards. As I've done the past couple of years, I will be doing a deep dive into each category to analyze who I think might win the Academy Award on February 24th using a combination of stats from the creation of the SAG Awards in 1994 to today along with gut instinct and intuition (which this year certainly requires). First up are the acting categories which have thrown us a few curveballs this season. Let's take a look. Click below to see my in-depth analysis on each of the four acting categories.

We’re 91 years into the Academy Awards. With such a long history and more than a hundred nominations each year, there are plenty of fascinating bits of trivia, stats, and other oddities to sift through. “Roma” alone led to plenty of firsts at the Oscars this year, while “Black Panther” broke new ground. To that end, I present to you our comprehensive list of trivia for the 91st Academy Awards.

The morning is finally here! After months and months of deliberation, campaigning, and plenty of arguing, the nominations for the 91st Academy Awards are here. As per usual, they came with plenty of surprises, more than a few snubs, and plenty to talk about. Let’s dive into our initial reactions to the nominations!

After what has been one of the most brutal pre-nomination phases of the Oscars I can remember in quite some time, the day has finally come. The Academy has announced their nominations for the 91st Academy Awards to be held on February 24th 2019 (my birthday, of all days). Surprises, shocks and snubs were of course present as always. Click below to see the nominations.

Tomorrow is the big day. Everything we've talked about for the past 10 months culminates tomorrow. Starting at 8:20am EST, the nominations for the 91st Academy Awards will be announced. We have discussed on Episode 126 at great length, the reasoning behind our predictions, and now we have them all listed below for you to see. A reminder though, that for as many happy moments which will occur tomorrow for your favorite films or performances, there will be just as many snubs as well. Hearts WILL be broken. I guarantee you that. I think with the way this season has gone so far, it's important to remember to be respectful to each other. This season has gotten ugly on more than a few occssions and if someone likes a partciular film or performance you don't and they're happy that it got nominated, I ask that you don't take their happiness away from them. With that said, let's all take a deep breath, dive right in and hope that we can come up from the bottom for air on the other side. |
