There’s not much time left. Sunday, we will find out just how much we did and did not know about this Oscar season. While I’ve contributed quick thoughts to our Rundown articles, I always like to do more with my final prediction post of the year. This will include how I think the races will finish out, what has the best chances of surprising, and what I overall felt about the nominees, non-nominees, and other general thoughts. Please note that I have not made it through all of the Oscar nominees, so my thoughts will be based on what I have seen and what I see as problem nominees if that applies.
The categories below are sorted in order from least competitive to most competitive.
I will not be sharing my personal thoughts on the quality of the foreign language and documentary categories, but I’ve seen both short film categories, so I can offer my thoughts on those. I don’t know that my guesses would have much impact. I have still written a little something on each.

New Trailer (#2)
There’s only one new wide release and after a series of disappointing openings, the final How to Train Your Dragon film should rescue the box office this weekend.
Periodically, we’re going to be looking at the Oscars in a different way. While most of our content deals with predictions and precursors and reviews and previews and everything in between, the facts and statistics surrounding the Oscars are seldom referenced but in passing. These articles will change that. As often as is possible (research takes time), we’ll take a narrow look at statistics about and surrounding the Oscars.
The Oscar frontrunners are the winners here, which will make for an interesting race at the Oscars where The Favourite and Black Panther will battle it out. The former has legendary, 14-time nominee Sandy Powell while the latter has another legendary costume designer Ruth Carter, who has never won before.
