Zennie Abraham’s Oscar Predictions For The 90th Academy Awards
Zennie Abraham’s Oscars Predictions For The 90th Academy Awards
This used to be a rather easy deal: just look at the precursor awards and you can’t go wrong, right? Well, that was true right up until 7 years ago, when the Academy went through all kinds of crisis of concience. Still, even with all of the added best picture nominees, who won what award before the Oscars still matters. So, with that, here’s my Oscars Predictions For The 90th Academy Awards. And the first one I’ve done in a while. It’s nice to be back. I love the Oscars!
Now, keep this in mind: the predictions are not who I think should win, but who I think the Academy has picked.
Here’s the full list of nominees and Zennie Abraham’s prediction marked by an X:
