Oscar Winner Predictions 2017

I was hoping to have watched a couple more 1946 movies before making this post so that I could have spent a bit more time discussing this year's Oscar race, but we'll have to make do with a quick 11th hour post instead.

I know I said it last year, but this year really has been the toughest Oscar race to predict in about as long as I can remember. Despite the fact that Best Director and the four acting categories seem like foregone conclusions, almost every other category is a toss-up. For so many categories, there are two main contenders (sometimes three) that are almost impossible to separate, including Best Picture. At the risk of repeating myself from last year, I'm really not confident of my selections here at all. We'll know in less than 24 hours whether my coin tosses paid off.

So, for those of you interested, here are my predictions for the 2017 Academy Awards. Enjoy!

  1. I think you will do as well as last year, which was your best so far, right? I'll differ on only three categories: Original Screenplay (Get Out); Film Editing (Dunkirk) and Visual Effects (War for the Planet of the Apes). Best Picture is a real nail biter this year. I really liked Three Billboards, so I'm picking my favorite for the second year in a row. Last year my favorite was La La Land, and we know what happened there. Good Luck.

    By the way, Ann and I are hooked on "A Place to Call Home" Can you get a part on it? They are shooting season 6 I think.
