2021 Oscars – Final Predictions for the Nominees
The 93rd edition of the Oscars is upon us, so here are our predictions for the nominees.
Here we present the list for the main eight categories of the Oscars 2021, with nominees ordered in terms of their likelihood to get nominated. For Best Picture, we’ve included a list of ten films, even though it is very unlikely that ten movies will receive a nomination. Hence, if eight movies get nominated, we think that those eight will be the first eight titles on the list, and if nine movies get nominated, it’ll be the first nine titles. Additionally, each list has a runner-up candidate.
The nominations will be announced on Monday, March 15. Here are the lists:

Miguel Fernández is a Spanish student that has movies as his second passion in life. His favorite movie of all time is The Lord of the Rings, but he is also a huge Star Wars fan. However, fantasy movies are not his only cup of tea, as authors like Scorsese, Fincher, Kubrick or Hitchcock have been an obsession for him since he started to understand the language of filmmaking. He is that guy who will watch a black and white movie, just because it is in black and white.
