Awards Season: My FINAL Oscar Predictions and Who Should Win

Tonight is the night and there is very little time to change your final ballots on who is going to win big. I have some major shocks and surprises picked to win tonight and I am playing a very risky game. I will not go into detail on my picks, due to there being 24 categories, but I will explain briefly why I am picking my Best Picture choice. Without further ado, here are my choices for the 2019 Oscars.

Best Picture
Will Win: BlacKkKlansman
Should Win: A Star is Born

This is my biggest shock of them all. There are people thinking that Roma, The Favourite and Green Book all have a chance but I believe the stats are in BlacKkKlansman’s favour. With a nomination for both Best Editing and Directing, as well as a lack of controversy and a lot of love for the film in general, this may just be a dark horse that will benefit from the preferential ballot.
