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.
