As I do every year, I reach deep into my psychic mind to predict the winners of the major Oscars categories. Sometimes I’ve seen the movies. More often, I haven’t, and I just let the vibes from the universe write this. I will let you know not only who is going to win, and occasionally who else should have won.

Best Supporting Actress, Weapons: It is my psychic belief that Amy Madigan will get the Best Supporting Actress Oscar for putting this dreadful movie on her shoulders and giving it relavance. She was so good that I didn’t even know it was her until the credits rolled. I also believe she deserves the Oscar nod for putting up with Kevin Costner throughout Field of Dreams.

Best Supporting Actor, One Battle After Another: Sean Penn is owed this Oscar after they cheated him out of Best Actor for Fast Times At Ridgemont High. In all seriouness, I saw this movie and I walked out telling my son that Sean Penn would get the Best Supporting Actor for that.

Best Actress, Hamnet: Prior to this writing I had never heard of Hamnet or Jessie Buckley. When I heard the title of the movie my first psychic instinct was that a movie named Hamnet would be horrible and ignored. But then I saw a picture of Jessie Buckley and thought that she had a nice face and in my head, I saw an Oscars trophy. So here she is. (I’m standing with my first instinct on the movie. It won’t win best picture with that name. Had the moving been named Phil, I think it might have done better in the Oscars voting.)

Best Actor, Sinners: Michael B. Jordan. Man, when he retired from basketball I thought we’d see him on TV as a commentator, but now he’s going to be an Oscar winning actor. Some people just hold multitudes that we never expect. I think they need to come out with a Michael B. Jordan Oscar sneakers. I’d buy those. Sorry Timothe’e Challamet. If you’re going to spell your name that way and make fun of ballet (or should we call it “ballamet”) you’re not going to win an Oscar. And seriously Timmy, you made a movie about ping-pong and you’re trashing ballet?

Best Picture: One Battle After Another. The title of this movie is genuis. One battle after another implies there’s going to be more sequels. The next one will have to be named The Battle After The Other One. If you haven’t seen it, it really is a fun movie. Small warning, Republicans will not enjoy it as much as Democrats.
Those are my prediction for the Oscar’s. I also predict that Timothe’e Challamet will get booed on the red carpet on his way in. I hope you have a great watch party, but I can’t stay up that late on a work night. If you disagree with me on these, I’d love to hear your nominations in the comments.
Thanks for reading and have a great Sunday! ~Phil
Weapons really messed me up, and I’m a horrible fanatic with a constitution as strong as iron.
Ugh. I hated Weapons. I thought it was a terrible movie.
I thought Gladys’ fate at the end was just silly (trying not to give away too many details in case people haven’t seen it) but I thought it was very original.
Yes, that scene was crazy!
Although, if there was a sequel, I’d go see it
I’m a tree hugging liberal Democrat and couldn’t force myself to watch more than the first 40 minutes of One Battle After Another. I honestly don’t see the appeal of that movie, but then I rarely agree with films that everyone else loves. Just watched Nuremberg last night and far preferred that.
