There have been countless MMO Oscar Race Updates, awards show previews & reviews, tons of OSPs, and now, it’s FINALLY the time to make our picks for who’s getting nominated at this year’s Academy Awards!

We focus on a big 13 categories in this episode: picture, director, the 4 acting, 2 screenplay, animated, foreign, & documentary features, plus original score & song. For all the rest, do go back to our many recaps, previews, reviews, & MMOW updates, and we’ll be giving you overviews & reactions on those categories soon as well.

As usual, we have a ton of stats and callbacks to the rest of awards season as we discuss these races. We also make our predictions, cite our favorite pundit - Scott Feinberg of The Hollywood Reporter, and then we break down who we think are the safe picks, the probables, possibles, and long shots. Of course, the fun part of all this is how we analyze the voting body that is the Academy. What backlashes will come into play? Who has the late momentum? And what may surprise us come Tuesday morning? It’s all here in this episode.

Our prediction track record is better than some and lesser than others. You can go back and enjoy our previews of this year’s Golden Globes and Critics Choice Awards to see how we’ve done, and we’ll continue to predict and react to the rest of the big award shows. The next MMO Weekly will react to the PGA’s and the latest on the Oscar hosting situation. Then we’ll have a fun reaction show to the Academy Award Nominations for you all on Tuesday.
