Tomorrow is the big day. Everything we’ve talked about for the past 10 months culminates tomorrow.
Starting at 8:20am EST, the nominations for the 91st Academy Awards will be announced. We have discussed on Episode 126 at great length, the reasoning behind our predictions, and now we have them all listed below for you to see.
A reminder though, that for as many happy moments which will occur tomorrow for your favorite films or performances, there will be just as many snubs as well. Hearts WILL be broken. I guarantee you that. I think with the way this season has gone so far, it’s important to remember to be respectful to each other. This season has gotten ugly on more than a few occssions and if someone likes a partciular film or performance you don’t and they’re happy that it got nominated, I ask that you don’t take their happiness away from them.
With that said, let’s all take a deep breath, dive right in and hope that we can come up from the bottom for air on the other side.
Predictions are provided by: Beatrice Loayza, Cody Dericks, Daniel Howat, Josh Parham, Josh Williams, Kt Schaefer, Liam Heffernan, Matt Neglia, Michael Schwartz, Ryan C. Showers, Tom O’Brien & Will Mavity
