The tsunami of Oppenheimer may sweep most of
the categories, maybe eight total while most other worthy films may only get a
single Oscar. Yet some great films (Air, Saltburn,
and All of Us Strangers) never
received a single nomination. I have seen all the nominated Best Pictures and
many of the other categories but not short subjects. So I will give my best
guesses and a couple bold picks based on my gut. There are always surprises among the winners.
I hope you enjoy the show Sunday evening because it celebrates movies!
