Actress: Renee Zellweger
Supporting Actor: Brad Pitt
Supporting Actress: Laura Dern (Marriage Story)

Feature Documentary: For Sama

Best Rap by a child actor/child of an actor: Chet Hanks f/ Lil' Peep (special collaboration with Justin Bieber)
 
Picture: Parasite
Director: Bong Joon-ho
Actor: Joaquin Phoenix
Actress: Renee Zellweger
Supporting Actor: Brad Pitt
Supporting Actress: Laura Dern (I'd choose Florence Pugh if it was up to me)
Cinematography: Roger Deakins
Animated: Toy Story 4
Music: Joker
Original Screenplay: Parasite
Adapted Screenplay: Taika Waititi

Hope you're right on Picture and Original Screenplay. I'd prefer seeing 'JoJo Rabbit' win Picture, that's the best I've seen in a while, but I know it won't.

I just don't think the Academy is going to let another chance to jizz over it's own face get by them again, hence the "Once Upon a Time..." prediction.

I've only seen the following best picture nominees.....

Parasite
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
JoJo Rabbit
Joker
Marriage Story

.... and I enjoyed JoJo Rabbit the best. Probably one of my new all time favorite movies. But I totally respect Parasite too and thought it was brilliant.

Joker was very disturbing, but I'm glad I saw it and it had a powerful message IMO, and Phoenix deserves best actor.

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and Marriage Story didn't do a whole lot for me, although I'd put OUATIH ahead of MS.

I really want to see 1917 because I think that will be really good. Irishman is intriguing, but the 3.5 hour length is just too much for me.

The Oscars are tonight? And here I am stuck in the office supporting this disaster of a network change when I could be home or in a bar Not watching the Oscars
 
Billy Porter is not good, yikes he is struggling on the red carpet tonight.

Did not know Laura Dern's mom......I am a rube from flyover and I knew she is Diane Ladd. the "Legendary" cover was beyond awkward to embarassing.
I think all these people are on opiods...honestly. I know many are.

to be fair, Ryan Seacrest is sucking too.....so jumped the shark. That rapturous interview with Dusk to Dawn beer leg girl about how her seed discovered Billie Eilish.....just glorious.
 
I’ve seen 1917(recommend seeing this is in theaters. It’s how it’s meant to be seen), Marriage Story, Once Upon a Time In Hollywood, Joker, and The Irishman. I thought Joker was the best of those followed by 1917. For best picture between those I would go with 1917 because it’s a movie the academy loves, but based on everything I’ve read, I’ll be shocked if Parasite doesn’t win.

Predictions:
Picture: Parasite
Actor: Joaquin Phoenix
Actress: Renee Zellweger
Supporting Actor: Al Pacino
Supporting Actress: Margot Robbie
Director: Sam Mendes

Mr. Rogers...I could use someone like him.

The closest thing we have is CBS Sunday Morning and 60 minutes.
 
If you dislike these things so much why do you watch them?

It's 2020--find something else.

I enjoy dirty's commentary.

I'm an indigenous story teller. I'm telling the story about how Brad Pitt won four awards and never mentioned his children or Laura Croft.
That Frozen song really sucked, btw.......twitter be blowing up about how much it sucked.

The Conners suck too. I miss fat John Goodman.

The original Frozen song is really stupid. That, Harry Potter and having a tattoo are things that people assume I can add to the conversation about...and I just can't.
 
Mashall Mathers needs the abdominizer.... adn drink less big gulps.

He didn't comment on our state department's policy on the popular uprisings against tyranny in Hong Kong and Persia. Brad Pitt would have if he rapped.

I wish Chris Kirkpatrick would challenge him to celebrity cage match and just ground pound his ass to tapping in 40 seconds or less.

No love for I love LA guy. Still alive.
