2020 Oscar Predictions – September

It’s that time of year again: it’s Oscar season!  This is my favorite time of the year for movies.  It is when we get the best of the best from the worlds greatest actors and filmmakers.  It is also fun to watch which movies come out of nowhere and surprise us and which Oscar hopefuls fall right on their face.  With the Telluride Film Festival, Venice Film Festival, and Toronto International Film Festival all premiering some of the most hyped movies of the year, the Oscar picture is becoming a little clearer, but it’s still anybody’s guess at this point.  Here are my predictions for the 2020 Academy Awards.
