Does anyone have a prediction right now that’s a long shot? If so, which one and why are you picking it?

I would cry out of happiness. That song is such a dream.

Mystery of Love winning would be one of my favorite Oscar wins ever, honestly. That song fits so perfectly in the film. I get emotional even listening to it now, weeks after seeing Call Me By Your Name.

Icarus for Documentary Feature, because I think the Oscars will want to make a political statement against Russia/Putin and a simultaneous statement against Trump by doing so.

I’m not predicting any long shots because why would I – I like to get my predictions correct, thank you very much – but if I did, I would go with Timothee Chalamet and Mystery of Love, as nothing would make me happier than seeing them win. Chalamet’s performance is by far the best of the year and one of the best in the history of modern cinema, and MOL is not only an insanely beautiful piece of music but almost a character of its own in the movie.

One can dream, no?

Mystery of Love is by far the best original song. It probably won’t win. Just another travesty in Oscars history.

I don’t think we’ll have any significant surprises this year.

I think Remember Me is a pretty decent winner for Best Song, much better than some of the past winners.

We had Fantastic Beasts in Costume Design last year and we had Ex Machina winning Visual Effects the year before that.

You seriously believe there won’t be a movie in 4th or 5th place in Goldderby odds that pulls off an upset this year? Come on, get creative! If there was an upset like that in literally any category, what do you think it would be?

Lesley Manville for Supporting Actress.

Yes, I said it.

She couldn’t even get in at the Globes, where we know they at least saw the film because Day-Lewis was nominated. Waltz won for Django after his film missed SAG like Phantom Thread, but his Globe win gave him enough momentum to triumph at Bafta and then the Oscars. Manville has no momentum to overcome Allison Janney’s Globe, Critic’s Choice, and SAG wins.

Supporting Actress is strictly between Metcalf and Janney.

Jonny Greenwood if he gets Bafta.

I don’t think there will be an upset in picture, director, acting, and adapted screenplay. Original could go three ways, but I’m going with Three Billboards unless one of Get Out or Lady Bird wins at Bith BAFTA and WGA, which won’t happen.

Maybe we see some surprises in the tech categories though. Documentary is ripe for an upset I guess.

Hopefully mystery of love from Call Me By Your Name  and the score for Phantom Thread win.
