Oscars 2020: Predicting The Winners In Every Category

10. Best Animated Short Film, Documentary Short Subject & Live Action Short

Learning to Skateboard in a Warzone If You're a Girl
A&E

WINNER (Animated Short Film)

Hair Love

NOMINEES

Dcera (Daughter)

Kitbull

Memorable

Sister

Though Pixar tends to perform well here, their short Kitbull is likely to be pipped to the post by the easy fave Hair Love.

WINNER (Documentary Short Subject)

Learning to Skateboard in a Warzone (If You're a Girl)

NOMINEES

In the Absence

Life Overtakes Me

St. Louis Superman

Cha-Cha

A competitive category for sure, though with Learning to Skateboard... recently scooping the BAFTA for Best British Short Film, it feels like the one to beat.

WINNER (Live Action Short)

Brotherhood

NOMINEES

Nefta Football Club

The Neighbors' Window

Saria

A Sister

This is by far the toughest shorts category to predict, with Brotherhood and The Neighbors' Window both proving especially strong contenders. Given its more urgently political bent, though, it'll probably go to Brotherhood.
