2018 Oscar Nominee Predictions

The 2018 Academy Award nominees will be officially announced on Tuesday, January 23rd! Here are my predictions for the nominees in the major categories.

First off, sorry about my lack of posts lately. The holidays kept me pretty busy and there honestly hasn't been a movie that I really felt like reviewing lately. But now it's Oscar season which is always a super exciting time for movies! I try my best to see all the Oscar-nominated movies and every year there's always at least three that I consider to be masterpieces of motion picture. I haven't seen all of this year's front-runners but I'm working on it.

Like I mentioned earlier, the official nominees will be announced in a few days so I just wanted to do a quick post on what films/actors/directors I think will be nominated in the major categories. When the real nominees are released, I'll do a follow-up post on how accurate I was. So let's get started!
