Okay, I’ve been bombarding all of you with article after article of what other award shows have been nominating and awarding.
Here are the nominations for what I had in November. It’s interesting to see how much has changed, sadly it seems like The Last Duel is going to end up with zero awards.
Anyways, if you have an Oscar pool going what I’m about to give you would probably put you at the top if your friends don’t follow awards. I did place 30 out of 2200 on Goldderby for my BAFTA nomination predictions so there’s that.
Here’s what I have, in order of what is most likely to win as of right now:
