Updated Academy Award Predictions For Early June!

In normal years, the start of June would signal an interesting point to check in on the Oscar race. Were there any summer blockbusters that could potentially make an awards play? Which early year releases have staying power? Normally, we’d have the Cannes Film Festival having established some possible players. Here in 2020, however, we have none of that, really. The movies from the first part of the year are still there, but who knows whether they’ll be given a fair shake? Plus, so many still to be released flicks (including two notable ones that I’ve already seen and am embargoed on until later this month) are X factors, in multiple ways. With all that in your mind, take these updated predictions with a major grain of salt. Still, enjoy… Here now are some sure to change predictions for the Academy Awards: BEST PICTURE 1.
