2019 Oscar Predictions (Full List)

After many, many months of speculation, the Academy Awards will finally come to an end tonight, crowning the 91st Best Picture winner. Roma and The Favourite lead the nominations at 10, each, while Vice and A Star is Born trail closely behind at eight.

In what can only be described as a dull season, the films nominated for the major awards failed to leave the impression the selected films usually do, making for a very underwhelming race that further emphasises the fact that the best movies of the year will not be heard of in tonight’s ceremony.

With that, we bring you our final predictions:
