The Oscar nominations have been announced this morning. I’m grateful these movies got the nominations they deserve. The Shape of Water received the most nominations (13) including Best Picture. However, I was expecting a bit more. For Call Me by Your Name, I was expecting a nod for Best Cinematography and Armie Hammer getting nominated for his supporting role. Or–Best Actor nods for Kumail Nanjiani (The Big Sick) or Jake Gyllenhaal (Stronger). But–that didn’t happen.
Anyway–I’m going to share my predictions on who should win and will win in the 90th Oscars ceremony on March 4th. Here they are:
