The Oscars are upon us. On Monday morning, January 13, the motion picture academy will announce the nominations for their 92nd annual awards. And then the winners will be announced earlier than ever, on Sunday night, February 9, during a ceremony hosted by … well, nobody. So who will make the cut, and who will be left out? Scroll down to see our complete nominations predictions in all 24 categories listed in order of our racetrack odds, with our projected winners highlighted in gold.
Our odds are calculated by combining the predictions of more than 10,000 registered Gold Derby users who have placed their bets here in our predictions center. That’s far more than ever before. They include dozens of Expert journalists we’ve surveyed from top media outlets, the Editors who cover awards year-round for Gold Derby (everything from the Oscars to the VMAs), the Top 24 Users who got the highest scores predicting last year’s nominations and the All-Star Top 24 who got the highest scores when you combine prediction results from the last couple of years.
And then of course, there are the thousands upon thousands of everyday Users who make up our largest predictions bloc. One of them will likely out-score the rest of us with their forecasts. And you can join them here if you haven’t already. Do you agree with our consensus Oscar bets? Check them all out below. Keep making or updating your predictions until the morning of nominations. And debate all the contenders with your fellow movie-lovers in our forums.
