Yeah, I taught it will be helpful with the predictions. Personally I was surpries that the major awards are suggesting that Mad Max is frontrunner for Costumes. I am tempted to place it first place now.

Thank you. It seems in the tech categories there is consensus. Totally opposite to best picture.

Actually BAFTA sound category = only sound mixing. Look at the history of BAFTA sound winners and AMPAS sound mixing winners. the same winners in last 7 years

^ Since BAFTA started using the same voting process as the Oscars (branches voting for nominees, whole academy voting for winners), Les Mis, Gravity and Whiplash did all win BAFTA sound and Oscar for sound mixing, but they were all quite easy predictions to make anyway. With two huge behemoths going head-to-head in both sound categories, I wouldn’t necessarily expect the same outcome. I also wouldn’t consider BAFTA results prior to 2012, when they still had the reverse of the Oscar voting process, as particularly relevant.

Yeah, I also wouldn’t consider The Revenant’s Sound award at BAFTA as a check in the Sound Editing column. That award more directly translates to Sound Mixing. I think we might see a rare split this year with two such acclaimed tech-heavy films. I’m still predicting MM:FR for Editing until further notice.

Im so struggling with Costumes. Mad Max or Cinderella? Cinderella is my pick since like october and i think im gonna stick with it. It has most costumes + powell. but i know Mad Max won BAFTA and BFCA so is probably the favorutie.

but i dont want to pick what everyone does. So Cinderella is my upset pick

Mad Max will win costume. Nobody in the Academy feels any urgency towards giving Cinderella an Oscar. Beaven will be victorious no problem. Carol has no chance after BAFTA.

Nobody felt urgency to award Great Gatsby or Anna Karenina either. bad argument. Costumes is the category where small films can win

10 films (Revenant makes 11) have won at Cinema Audio Society and BAFTA. 7 of those have won the Oscar for Sound Mixing. 

There’s gonna be a split this year with Fury Road winning Editing and Revenant winning Mixing. Unless Revenant wins all 3 MPSE awards.

Only the MPSE Foley & Effects category matters.  The last MPSE
Dialogue & ADR winner that also won Oscar Sound Editing was The Bourne Ultimatum. 
MPSE Music is three for thirteen in matching Oscar Sound Editing since
the latter expanded from two nominees.

This is certainly true, but I wonder if Cinderella will be perceived as not serious enough for voters to give it much attention, even in this category. Great Gatsby and Anna Karenina were not popular with the Academy but they were very much films for “grown-ups”, being based on masterpieces of literature. Even Marie Antoinette, the last film to win the Costume Oscar with no other nominations, had more adult appeal than live-action Disney fairy-tale remake Cinderella.

I see @thedemonhog you are predicting Cinderella too. How confident are you on this?
