My Final 2023 OSCARS Predictions (Nominations)
Every year around mid-January, I dive into the Oscars discussion with my predictions ahead of the Academy's nominations announcement, and well before the actual ceremony, to give my predictions as to who will actually get the nods. I also like to give my #1 pick (wish list items) for each category as to who I think *SHOULD* win. For the purposes of this article, I will only be covering the "above the line" major categories. Let's get into it...
