2020 Oscars – Who Will Win and Who Should Win

 

 

 

 

 

 

It’s Oscar time!  The one night a year where we celebrate everything that is great in cinema!  Regardless of how I feel about the nominees, I love Oscar night and I love everything that goes into the show.  It’s big, glitzy, absurd, but it’s always a great time to watch and see the winners, especially ones that I like.  With that being said, here are my predictions for the 92nd ceremony.  This is a crazy year and even though we do have our frontrunners, we could easily see a surprise in a few categories.  Here are my picks for who will win tonight and who should win at the 2020 Oscars.
