2018 Oscar Nomination Predictions


I have to be quite honest. It is going to be an unpredictable awards season since there is no consensus as to what movie will take the Best Picture Oscar. I do believe, except for Best Actress, that all the people who have been getting awards are set for getting their deserved award. Getting back to the Best Picture race, I do believe it is between three movies and we'll see if they will get nominated. (I think they will.) So, I will predict who will get nominated in the top categories and may potentially get nominated and also for the first time, I will predict some hopeful, wild card nominees in other categories.

Potential nominees: The Boss Baby, Despicable Me 3, Mary and the Witch's Flower


Best Documentary Feature:
City of Ghosts

Jane
Strong Island

Potential nominees: Last Men in Aleppo, LA 92


Hopeful nominations:

 I really want Logan to get some recognition and even though it does not have a chance to be nominated for Best Picture, I am really hopeful that Patrick Stewart gets a surprise nomination for Best Supporting Actor.

Baby Driver should get some film editing and sound editing/mixing nominations.

Call Me By Your Name had two terrific songs and I am hoping that Mystery of Love and Visions of Gideon could sneak in the top five nominations.

There are a lot of good contenders for Best Score but if I were to choose a person of recognition: Michael Giacchino for Coco or War for the Planet of the Apes. It would still be awesome if Hans Zimmer and Benjamin Wallsfich gets a score nomination for Blade Runner 2049, however, Zimmer will get nominated for Dunkirk.

For makeup, it'd be nice to see Wonder get nominated.

I don't like this movie but I have to say The Beguiled had pretty great costumes and I think that should be nominated.



Look out for my complete list of the Oscar nominations on Tuesday.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007), PG-13, ★★1/2

We're about halfway through the Harry Potter franchise and this is the turning point in which I found the material to be darker and more mature when the storyline surrounding Lord Voldemort grows. And, also we see another new and fresh direction as David Yates comes into the spotlight to finish off the franchise with the last four movies. I remember watching the trailer in the theaters and I was excited for this movie as it was mostly action-packed. The bottom line is despite the camaraderie between the young Hogwarts characters and a real-good action sequence in the climax, it is a choppily edited and more grounded movie that does not provoke much magic or memorable scenery. Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) is enduring a hot summer and Dudley (Harry Melling) provokes him by making fun of the fact that Harry is haunted by Cedric's death from The Goblet of Fire and also his mom's death. As a storm approaches, demeanors come into the tunnel sucking Dudley's so...

Non-Stop (2014), PG-13, 3 stars

The passengers think Bill Marks (Liam Neeson) is a terrorist. Airports and airplanes. The lines. The crowds. The delays. Everything that Bill Marks (Liam Neeson) hates about flying. When it comes to airports, I have to go through the procedure with taking your carry-on baggage and luggage on the flight. Then, I go through security which I have to admit is not as bad, just follow the rules and guidelines. After security, what do you do? If you are two or three hours early, you have time to kill: Have something to eat, watch something on your IPad, shop, etc. As you board and get on the plane, anything can happen from turbulence to maybe something unexpected like this movie's situation. This movie is silly and preposterous, but it is a fun movie to watch. The movie opens with Bill Marks tired drinking alcohol and arguing with a supervisor on his cellphone glancing at a photo of his daughter. But, he is trying to get his act together by lighting a cigarette while he is being pus...
