Okay, this is the last Oscars post for a while, and I've figured out my new classes and everything, so I will finally start back up on reviews sometime this week. The movies I'll be catching up on include Fences, Hunt for the Wilderpeople, and Hidden Figures. The nominees for the 89th Academy Awards will be announced at 8:15 AM EST tomorrow on January 24th. I'm planning on possibly doing a live stream of the nomination announcements, but that'll be decided pretty close to the time. So, here are my final final final predictions for the nominees. A few of them are a bit different than the ones in my long post last week, but they're the same for the most part. This is the final list of guesses, so this is the one you can check against the actual list of nominees tomorrow. Unlike the past posts, these will simply be listed in alphabetical order rather than in order of how likely I feel they are to be nominated, so don't assume I'm completely confident in every single guess. I'm including ten films in the Best Picture category, but keep in mind this category almost always comes out to eight or nine nominees, so I do not at all expect all of them to be nominated.
Also, I am including the Short categories for the first time. These are mostly formalities, as there is not much available to industry outsiders on these categories to go by outside of just general buzz and past winners. Anyway, without further ado, here is the list:
