Abzee’s Oscar predix for 2020-21
There you have it. The longest Oscar season of our lifetime yet. And it just feels wrong. The ongoing pandemic threw the whole Oscar season in disarray… we now have a 14 month long eligibility window to make up for the months lost, which means that this year’s Oscar will honour the ‘best’ of 2020 and the first couple of months of this new year too. Several rules, at the Oscars, BAFTAs and Golden Globes were changed. Some were due to the pandemic, some as a natural response to the various civil and societal upheavals that the world and especially the United States experienced this last year… and these bodies wanted to make the right noises thusly. Were these changes hasty as the odd BAFTA nominations have revealed? Were they mere tokenism as the audacious Golden Globes revealed? Or will they strike some balance of hope and resurrection as the Oscars intend to do?
Regardless, it has been an opportunity missed. The absence of theatres, an unthinkable thought for any true movie lover, also meant that the awards season this year was liberated from late Oscar season release surges and lobbying campaigns. It was the one true opportunity to honour films that came early in the year, it was a time to champion those smaller releases that are usually lost in the whole Oscar hype… With literally all the time in the world, this was an opportunity for diversity of films getting nominated. Instead as we arrive at this penultimate day before the Oscar nominations, we seem to have arrived, as every year, at a select few locks save an odd anomaly or two thanks in no small part to the Golden Globes.
Here then are my predictions for this year’s (14 months full) Oscar nominations

My Score-sheet:
Best Picture – 6/8
I predicted all of the 8 nominees that the Academy went with, but in terms of preferential balloting, I had Judas And The Black Messiah and The Father as my last two of the10 options.
Best Director – 4/5
Vinterberg came out of nowhere. I had thought that if anyone was to sneak in here, it would be Regina for One Night In Miami. But that film missed out on Best Picture too. Regardless, history was made with 2 female directors being nominated for the first time.
Best Actor – 5/5
Perfect score! Even though I do feel bad for Lindo missing out.
Best Actress – 5/5
Perfect score! Don’t remember when I last got both actor and actress 100% spot on.
Best Supporting Actor – 4/5
I was glad when they didn’t read out Chadwick’s name, cuz he wasn’t even the third best performance of Da 5 Bloods. But LaKeith being nominated in addition to the borderline category fraud that is Daniel Kaluuya is just laughably wrong. Who is the lead in Judas And The Black Messiah if both of them are supporting?
Best Supporting Actress – 4/5
I had Close as a dark horse, and dropped her from the 5 at the nth hour fearing that the divisive film and performance will have to make way for the Golden Globe surprise that was Foster. Should’ve stuck with Glenn.
Best Original Screenplay – 4/5
Who’d have thought that Mank, a film about the writer of Citizen Kane and how he wrote it, would miss out on a Screenplay nom? I did have Sound Of Metal as my dark horse though.
Best Adapted Screenplay – 4/5
Hail Borat! I had the mad entertainer as my dark horse but didn’t believe in the Academy enough to ‘get’ it. Ma Rainey’s omission here was an early indicator in retrospect that it would miss out on Best Picture.
Best International Film – 3/5
I didn’t have the Hong Kong and Tunisia entries in my radar at all. Shameful.
Best Documentary Feature – 3/5
I had My Octopus Teacher as a surprise sneak-in, but didn’t see The Mole Agent coming at all. Also, one feels bad for Dick Johnson Is Dead.
Best Animated Film – 4/5
I had the Shaun The Sheep movie as a dark horse.
Best Production Design – 3/5
I had Tenet as a potential spoiler, but didn’t see The Father nomination coming. The film was really loved across the board.
Best Editing – 4/5
Again, The Father, my long shot, made it to the final five. Mank losing out here, in addition to Screenplay, made me fear Fincher’s chances at Director but he made it in.
Best Cinematography – 5/5
Perfect Score! I had this feeling that Cherry may secure its sole nomination here, but stuck with my original 5.
Best Original Score – 4/5
Who’d have thought that Lee’s Da 5 Bloods would get its only nomination for Score. I had its chances as a surprise sneak-in.
Best Costume Design – 4/5
Pinocchio caught me unawares.
Best Makeup & Hair – 4/5
Emma. was my potential spoiler, though I was certain that Birds Of Prey would secure its sole nomination here.
Best Sound – 4/5
I’m not very happy with the Sound Mixing and Editing categories being clubbed into one starting this year. I am happy about predicting Greyhound since almost no Oscar pundit was betting on it. My surprise sneak-in Soul made history for being the first animated film to be nominated for sound.
Best Visual Effects – 3/5
I had Love And Monsters as my surprise sneak-in, but didn’t see The One And Only Ivan coming at all. I feel bad for Welcome To Chechnya which is a groundbreaking documentary and visual effects moment.

Usually, unless it’s a release from the first half of a year that enjoyed staying power through the Oscar season, most films in the running for Oscars get a release in India just around the nominations and awards. The one positive fallout of the pandemic was that a lot of the Oscar films this year came to streaming platforms in India from September onward. So one actually got to see more of these films than in previous years.
The following films that are in the running this year have been on OTTs since the past few months-
NETFLIX- Mank, The Trial Of The Chicago 7, Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, Pieces Of A Woman, Hillbilly Elegy, The White Tiger, Crip Camp, My Octopus Teacher, News Of The World, Da 5 Bloods, Eurovision Song Contest: The Story Of Fire Saga, The Life Ahead, The Midnight Sky
AMAZON PRIME VIDEO- Sound Of Metal, One Night In Miami, Borat Subsequent Film, Time
DISNEY+ HOTSTAR- Onward, Over The Moon, Soul, Mulan, The One And Only Ivan
APPLE TV+- Wolfwalkers, Greyhound
BOOKMYSHOW STREAM- A Shaun The Sheep Movie: Farmageddon, Tenet

Our list of shows is growing. Around 30-35 mark and all diverse.
I cannot fathom stuff like Sex in the City or Gossip Girl.
Now I’m stuck with Waterloo Road and it’s drama every episode. Like Eastenders. Still timepass.

We were introduced to New Amsterdam and tbh that show is the kind she would usually love but she agreed it wasn’t that good at all. She’s liked The Bureau, Peaky Blinders and stuff in that ilk. So the balance of power and taste has shifted a bit to me. But once we watched Fargo on a recommendation it went for toss. So my punishment is a school based show where detentions are thrown out in every episode and it’s like my punishment now!

Saying it now, Chadwick Boseman will win Best Actor. Amidst a year filled with protests from Black Lives Matter, the Academy would hate to be seen as not recognizing a black movie, that too a highly acclaimed film as this one. Nominating an actor who’s popular because of a comic book film made wonders for the Oscar ratings last year and making the first posthumous Best Actor win for said actor would be perfect. Also, sort of a throwback to another actor boosting into popularity due to an iconic character and passing away in the recent year (Ledger).
