Which films besides Parasite and Weathering With You look like frontrunners? Is there a chance Instinct gets in?
I’d put Pain and Glory above Weathering With You in likelihood, it’s a well-respected director in the Academy making an autobiographical film in a peak for his work this decade. (I think Weathering With You is the better movie, but that’s a debate for another time).
The Mover or if the Academy really wants to be risky The Painted Bird will be likely due to voters in this category having a habit of nominating holocaust movies. I’d also keep an eye on Monos, Corpus Christi, The Whistlers, and Honeyland due to festival acclaim.

I also think when trying to discuss Oscar ratings, it’s worth noting that a lot of people these days just use social media or livestreaming apps to “watch” the Oscars rather than TV.
If they livestreamed the Oscars on Twitch or Youtube Live globally, it would easily break viewing records, guaranteed.

So now the generic OP Is out, time for some predictions
GAME OF THE YEAR
– Death Stranding is definitely getting nominated. Geoff Keighley (the runner of the Game Awards) not only has a friendship with its director Hideo Kojima, but is also literally in the game. You can debate conflicts of interest I guess, but this looks like an ambitious and bizarre game so no complaints here.
– Sekrio: Shadows Die Twice is likely getting nominated. Dark Souls II in 2014 and Bloodborne in 2015 (both also From Software games) got game of the year nominations, and this is a slightly less competitive year.
– Resident Evil 2’s remake is likely getting nominated. While it is a remake, it is a very detailed redo that is quite different in how it plays. It also has gotten the best reviews of any game this year so far.
– A Nintendo game will get nominated. In 2014, 15, and 17 Nintendo got a GOTY nomination with either a first party game or a game they published. The question is: which game?
- Super Mario Maker 2 is a sequel to a 2015 GOTY nominee
- Fire Emblem: Three Houses has the best reviews of any Nintendo game this year, though isn’t connected to any previous nominees for GOTY.
- Super Smash Bros. Ultimate received great reviews and ongoing support, however it came out December last year so voters may forget about it
- Astral Chain is made by Platinum Games, who also made Bayonetta 2, a GOTY nominee. However, the reviews aren’t quite as great, and Platinum also missed on a NieR: Automata nomination
- Luigi’s Mansion 3 also looks good, however it remains unreleased
- Pokemon Sword and Shield have big franchise clout but also a big backlash
– Devil May Cry V might get nominated. It got great reviews, however no previous Devil May Cry has been nominated for any other awards – even at the VGX predecessor to this.
– Apex Legends might get nominated. It’s a battle royale game, which the success of PUBG and Fortnite at their respective GOTY awards shows is a genre that gets buzz. Furthermore, the developer – Respawn Entertainment – got a nomination for Game of the Year in 2016 for Titanfall 2.
– Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is also by Respawn Entertainment, and is a single-player game in a similar vein to other GOTY nominees like God Of War or Uncharted: Big polished narrative focus. However, it isn’t out, so it remains a bit of an unknown quantity.
Other games that might be candidates include Slay The Spire (it’s indie, but has gotten amazing reviews and has a cult fanbase), Borderlands 3 (sequel to GOTY nominee), Control, Gears 5 (member of GOTY nominated series), Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare (member of GOTY nominated series), DOOM Eternal, The Outer Worlds
Of these, my 5 predicted nominees (in alphabetical order) are
– Apex Legends
– Death Stranding
– Resident Evil 2
– Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice
– Super Mario Maker 2
