90th Oscar Picks and Predictions

Did this feel like an odd year for movies for anyone else? I'm not sure why it seemed so strange, but even so there were a lot of great movies to choose from this year alongside some strange ones. I got around to seeing most of the movies I wanted to prior to the big show and I feel inspired to be as spirited as Lady Bird and as badass as Mildred Hayes.

PICTURE: Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri
Loved this movie. I must say, however, that my popular pick of the year was probably Get Out and I would ~love if that would surprise everyone

DIRECTOR: Jordan Peele - Get Out
I'll admit this is a wishful prediction but I just want him to win so bad! And I genuinely think it was the best directed. Guillermo del Toro could win, though, and he's just not my dude

ACTOR: Gary Oldman - The Darkest Hour
A very convincing performance from a longtime fav of mine

 ACTRESS: Frances McDormand - Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri
What a woman.

SUPPORTING ACTOR: Sam Rockwell - Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri
His speech at the Indies was so great! I'm so happy for his (almost) win

SUPPORTING ACTRESS: Allison Janney - I, Tonya
It's almost a sure thing that she's coming home with the prize, but my pick would have been Laurie Metcalf for Ladybird.
