Lisa’s Final 2018 Oscar Predictions
Oscar and Audrey Hepburn
Since the Oscars will be handed out tomorrow, now is the time for me to post my final Oscar predictions of 2018. As we all know, this has been a strange Oscar season. For the first time in decades, the ceremony will have no host and I’m all about that. (Seriously, the host is always the worst part.)
Since I have a feeling that 2019 is going to be a weird year in general, I’m going to guess that we’re going to have a few upsets tomorrow night. For instance, I think BlackKklansman is going to shock everyone by winning best picture. Why? The multiple nominations for Vice would seem to indicate that the Academy is in a political mood. However, Vice is a terrible film and the Academy has rightfully been criticized for nominating it. However, BlackKklansman is just as political as Vice but it’s actually a decent film. So, if your goal is to award a movie that criticizes the state of American politics, BlackKklansman is the one to go for.
Here are my final predictions:
Best Picture — BlackKklansman
Best Director — Alfonso Cuaron, Roma
Best Actor — Christian Bale, Vice
Best Actress — Glenn Close, The Wife
Best Supporting Actor — Mahershali Ali, Green Book
Best Supporting Actress — Regina King, If Beale Street Could Talk

What If Lisa Picked The Oscar Nominees: 2018 Edition
With the Oscar nominations due to be announced tomorrow, now is the time that the Shattered Lens indulges in a little something called, “What if Lisa had all the power.” Listed below are my personal Oscar nominations. Please note that these are not the films that I necessarily think will be nominated. The fact of the matter is that the many of them will not. Instead, these are the films that would be nominated if I was solely responsible for deciding the nominees this year. Winners are starred and listed in bold.
(You’ll also note that I’ve added four categories, all of which I believe the Academy should adopt — Best Voice-Over Performance, Best Casting, Best Stunt Work, and Best Overall Use Of Music In A Film.)
(Click on the links to see my nominations for 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011, and 2010!)
