News of the Future: Oscar Predictions 2018

7:24 pm PST: Thanks for your patience and for checking in while I was recovering from a fourth foot surgery I had in December. I am mostly healed now, and ready to run…with a marathon of blog posts. Because I would never run in real life, unless I was running FOR my life. While I have no athletic abilities whatsoever, I do like to make sports predictions.

I announced some of these Oscar Predictions 2018 on the 1-26-18 episode of our radio show, along with a live broadcast of Eagles win predictions I made with Astrologer Jessica Adams, over a week before the Super Bowl. The Eagles win prediction was reiterated on our 2-2-18 episode with Psychic Medium Lyndsey Paul. Now let’s see what’s coming up for the Oscars…

I am predicting this to be a breakout year with heightened inclusiveness for women, minorities, and the LGBTQ community. For perhaps the first time in Oscar history, personal character, and not just character portrayals, will be a requirement for being able to stay in the race. I am also predicting that the films with the most nominations (The Shape of Water with 13 and Dunkirk with 8) will only achieve wins in visual and audio-related technical categories.

Perhaps thanks to Neptune in Pisces, sci-fi, fantasy, and horror are being taken more seriously in film. The film nominated in most categories is about a woman who falls in love with a sea creature-very Neptunian, but also Uranian in its spirit of inclusiveness and appreciation of unusual beauty.

With Uranus in Aries, we are at a time of new beginnings when it comes to diversity, and I predict that will be reflected in the outcome of some of this year’s Oscar categories. Expect this year’s Academy Awards to be unusual, community-oriented, and a platform for multiple humanitarian causes. I expect a speech at the awards that will highlight injustices such as immigrant deportations in the US. I know a tie isn’t typical, but this year I am predicting the unconventional: a tie for one of the less notable categories, resulting in a shared award for two separate productions. Expect the unexpected when it comes to the cinematography category–that was the hardest category for me to read, as I kept seeing multiple winners.

Finally, I had a vision of clips being shown on a screen at the awards ceremony from 2016, rather than 2017. It’s possible someone does this as a mistake, or perhaps it is a prank. I also see this incident as something unusual from the 2016 Academy Awards that will happen again this year.

Oscar Predictions 2018

Best Picture

Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri

Best Director

Greta Gerwig, Lady Bird

I am predicting an upset for the category of Best Director.

Best Actress

Frances McDormand

Best Actor

Daniel Kaluuya

I predict that there will be sexual harassment allegations that prevent Gary Oldman from winning, throwing the award to another deserving actor in this category–but one who wouldn’t have won if it hasn’t been for this upcoming scandal.

I saw the name Daniel when I looked at this category, and I realise Daniel Day-Lewis is also in the running. But I have a feeling that the Phantom Thread film Day-Lewis starred in will either 1) will be formally disqualified due to not following either SAG or Academy rules, or 2) be portrayed in the news as socially and fiscally irresponsible due to a financial scandal that may involve unequal pay. This press coverage would taint the production’s reputation and hurt Day-Lewis’ chance of winning.

Best Supporting Actress

Allison Janney

Best Supporting Actor

Sam Rockwell

Best Cinematography

Blade Runner 2049

This was one of the most difficult categories for me to read. I kept seeing more than one film. Expect some confusion, or even a small controversy, to unfold in the Cinematography category.

Best Adapted Screenplay

Call Me By Your Name

Best Original Screenplay

Get Out

However, this category could end up being a tie between Martin McDonagh’s Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri and Jordan Peele’s Get Out. 

I predict Best Original Screenplay to be the most competitive Oscar category this year. Perhaps an uneven number of voters was planned on to avoid a tie, but I’m seeing one Academy member being unable to vote due to illness, leaving this tightly contested category with either a tie or a near-tie.

Best Costume Design

Phantom Thread

Best Film Editing

Dunkirk

Best Hair and Makeup

Darkest Hour

Best Production Design

The Shape of Water

Best Score

The Shape of Water

Best Song

“Remember Me”, Coco 

Sound Editing

Dunkirk

Sound Mixing

Dunkirk

Visual Effects 

War for the Planet of the Apes

Close 2nd: Blade Runner 2049

Best Animated Feature

Coco 

Despite a predicted win for Coco, kudos and long-term acclaim will be given to Loving Vincent for being the world’s first sully painted feature film.

Best Documentary Feature

Faces Places

Best Foreign Language Film

A Fantastic Woman

Best Animated Short

Lou

Best Documentary Short

Edith + Eddie

While I’m predicting Edith + Eddie to win in this category, I believe Heaven is a Traffic Jam on the 405 will be the documentary short from last year that becomes a cult classic of tomorrow.

Best Live Action Short

DeKalb Elementary 

Looking forward to watching the Oscars with all of you on March 4th!

Stay tuned for more predictions…
