FBC 2024 Oscars Coverage, Part IX- Predicting the winners, part 5- The lead acting categories

Remember when my predictions started and I said Best Animated Feature was the closest major race? If that’s true, then Best Actress is a close second. There are two woman who each have an excellent chance of winning. Best Actor is a little (well, a lot) easier to pick.

Let’s get leading!

FBC 2024 Oscars Coverage, Part VII: Predicting the winners, part 3- the screenplay categories

When Killers Of The Flower Moon was the only Best Picture nominee not nominated in the screenplay category, that kind of let you know that it’s stock was dropping. Still, the nine other nominees (plus May December) have made up one of the strongest years for screenplays in a very long time. Both the original and adapted categories have felt very fluid and it still kind of feels like a toss-up. But, the votes are in and predictions need to be made.

With that said, let’s get original and adaptive!

I’m doing so mostly because the screenplay categories feel very wide open while the two categories we’re delving into today are very solid locks.

FBC 2024 Oscar Coverage, Part II: The nominations predictions…

We have come, everyone, to my favorite thing I get to write all year. Usually, I rock about 80% for my predictions of the Oscar nominations. If that number is any higher, I am insufferable until the ceremony, where I am sure to crash when predicting the winners. If that number is any lower, I am inconsolable until the next year. So, most people hope I hit that 80% mark exactly so I’m not a pain in the ass one way or another.

This year, the locks seem to be unfuckwithable and the remainders seem to be a dogfight. Currently, voting is open so me turning in my predictions right now seems like a mistake. But mistakes is where I thrive. Also, any sort of late push now will probably not do a lot. So, let’s cross our fingers and see where the chips fall when the nominees are announced on January 23rd. Just a reminder that I only do nominations for the ten major categories (Best Picture, Best Director, the four acting and two screenwriting categories, Best Animated Feature and Best International Film).
