Oscars 2019: Predicting All The Nominees

Period drama, fantasy, and blockbusters all mingle together here, with recent winners including Mad Max: Fury Road, The Grand Budapest Hotel, and The Shape of Water.

The Critics' Choice Awards, which nominate six films in this category, give us a good idea of how this five will be made up: they nominated Black Panther, Roma, The Favourite, Mary Poppins Returns, Crazy Rich Asians, and First Man, all of which have been nominated for the Art Directors Guild Awards too, and four of which were nominated by BAFTA (Black Panther and Crazy Rich Asians missed out there, but the former did win at the Critics' Choice). BAFTA instead threw in Fantastic Beasts 2, but it might struggle to make its way in here, while A Star Is Born could have a chance as an easy vote for members since it's the favourite across so many categories already.

Nominees:

Black Panther

First Man

The Favourite

Mary Poppins Returns

Roma

NCTJ-qualified journalist. Most definitely not a racing driver. Drink too much tea; eat too much peanut butter; watch too much TV. Sadly only the latter paying off so far. A mix of wise-old man in a young man's body with a child-like wonder about him and a great otherworldly sensibility.
