20 Movies That Will Win Oscars In 2023

4. Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile

If your instinct might be to laugh at the possibility of live-action/animated comedy Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile becoming an Oscar-winning movie, remember that the most unlikely of projects can prevail in the Best Original Song category.

First and foremost, it's a field where broad, family-friendly films prevail, such as Coco, Frozen, The Muppets, and Toy Story 3, so why not a movie about an anthropomorphic talking crocodile?

Plus, Lyle's secret weapon? It will feature several original songs written by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul - the musical team behind The Greatest Showman, which netted an Oscar nomination in 2017 for the hit tune "This Is Me."

Plus, Pasek and Paul also have an Oscar win each for their work composing the score for La La Land, so the prospect of Lyle becoming an Oscar winner isn't nearly as absurd as it might at first sound.
