OSCARS WISHLIST 2021
The Oscars feel a bit different this year, but the level of talent is still exceptional. If you’re like me, you scramble to catch up and watch the Oscar noms, while considering the many Oscar predictions.
How do they decide who wins an Oscar?
This depends on many factors, but really there are no “criteria”. Its members of the Academy of Motion Pictures that vote - and what they vote on could be very unpredictable. So instead of “Oscar Predictions”, we are doing an “Oscars Wishlist” based on performance, cultural impact, and popularity.
Check out this article in Variety about the voting process for the Oscars.
