2020 Oscar Predictions – October
The Oscar race is heating up. With the Fall film festivals coming to a close, the picture is getting a bit clearer as to who may be nominated. Everything is still up in the air, though, as there are nearly a dozen films that could take home the gold statue this year. Hopefully things will become clearer as the months go on and critics awards begin rolling in, but until then, here are my predictions for the 2020 Academy Awards.
