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.
