Since starting my blog almost five years ago, I've annually shared a series of posts relating to the Oscars. Last year, I tried something different by predicting the nominees and sharing my own personal selections for the best of each category. The response I received from that was overwhelmingly positive, so I figured I'd carry on the tradition and do it again this year. Keep in mind, my picks will be mostly unrealistic because I'm simply sharing what I wished was nominated tomorrow rather than what I think actually will get in. Now, I highly doubt I'll correctly guess all the nominees, but I'm going to give it my best shot and see how close I am! As for Best Foreign Film and Best Documentary, the only ones I've seen so far are Roma and Won't You Be My Neighbor?, so I'm not including those categories.
