Will Win

Jojo Rabbit
Joker
Little Women
1917
Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood

Will Win: 1917
Could Win: Parasite
Should Win: Parasite
Should have been here: The Farewell

I'm going head over heart this year and predicting 1917, but there is a real chance that Parasite becomes the first foreign-language film to win.

Director
Bong Joon Ho (Parasite)
Sam Mendes (1917)
Todd Phillips (Joker)
Martin Scorsese (The Irishman)
Quentin Tarantino (OUATIH)

Will Win: Mendes
Could Win: Joon Ho
Should Win: Joon Ho
Should have been here: Greta Gerwig, Little Women

Actor
Antonio Banderas, Pain & Glory
Leonardo DiCaprio, Once Upon a Time...in Hollywood
Adam Driver, Marriage Story
Joaquin Phoenix, Joker
Jonathan Pryce, The Two Popes
Will Win: Phoenix
Could Win: Driver
Should Win: Driver (or Banderas)
Should have been here: Robert De Niro, The Irishman

For the first time in many years, a great Best Actor category. Probably my favorite actor is going to win, so I won't complain it's for a movie I don't really like.

Actress
Cynthia Erivo, Harriet
Scarlett Johansson, Marriage Story
Saoirse Ronan, Little Women
Charlize Theron, Bombshell
Renee Zellwegger, Judy

Will Win: Zellwegger
Could Win: Johansson
Should Win: Ronan
Should have been here: Lupita N'yongo, Us

Supporting Actor
Tom Hanks, A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood
Anthony Hopkins, The Two Popes
Al Pacino, The Irishman
Joe Pesci, The Irishman
Brad Pitt, Once Upon a Time...in Hollywood

Will Win: Pitt
Could Win: Pesci
Should Win: Pesci
Should have been here: Song Kang Ho, Parasite

While Pitt is my second or third choice, he'll make a terrific winner.

Supporting Actress
Kathy Bates, Richard Jewell
Laura Dern, Marriage Story
Scarlett Johansson, Jojo Rabbit
Florence Pugh, Little Women
Margot Robbie, Bombshell

Will Win: Dern
Could Win: Johansson
Should Win: Pugh
Should have been here: Jennifer Lopez, Hustlers

While I'm still getting over the snubs for J Lo and Zhao Shuzen (The Farewell), it will be really cool to see Dern win.
