I mean of course 1917 is going to sweep the technical awards.

Is this meant to be the social media managers predictions or? Because this seems a little suspect lol.

I kinda feel like Parasite is doomed after seeing that from the official Twitter.

I am fine with about 4 or 5 films winning but a Parasite win would really make me happy.

Pretty sure it's tied to this tweet/social media campaign.



Looks like a chatbot that takes your predictions and spits them out in an image you can easily share across social media.

this seems like a really stupid thing to tweet out...

Best Picture goes to Parasite but absolute hack clinging to a gimmick for dear life Sam Mendes takes best director?

Sounds about right, actually...

I really don't get the sound love for 1917 - there was way too much unnecessary score when they could have let the diegetic sound breathe.

If voting is still open, then wouldn't an official Academy tweet of a list of "predictions" potentially skew the voting?

How long before it's taken down and an apology issued? Imagine you were nominated, but you aren't one of their predicted "winners"?

This seems like a very poor idea.

So basically what the twitter person thinks people want to see win to try to garnish goodwill before the actual winners end up being the far more predictable choices.

I think you greatly overestimate how many people will see this tweet.

Why would the organization holding the awards for voting be putting out predictions... isn't that messing with voter perception?

They have 3.4 million followers. It's a very bizarre thing to do.

They are supposed to at least give out the perception of impartiality, since y'know they are the ones giving out the awards...

Imagine your work has an Employee of the Month contest, and your boss tweets out who they think will win. It's weird.

I always find it icky when Best Picture and Best Director aren't awarded to the same movie.

This years gonna be so scattershot, I don't see any movie winning two major awards other than Parasite for script and BP maybe. I guess last year was like that too.

Funny how that tweet doesn't show up on their timeline. Only other Twitter account I usually see doing that is Apple's.
