2019 Oscars – Who Will Win and Who Should Win

It’s Oscar night!  The one night a year where we celebrate everything that is great 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 tonights ceremony.  This is a crazy year with no real frontrunner in a lot of categories, so I’m expecting some surprises here and there.  Here are my picks for who will win tonight and who should win at the 2019 Oscars.
