Oscars 2017: Predictions and Film Excess' favorites
The 89th Academy Awards are upon us, this year hosted, for the first time, by late-show host and comedian Jimmy Kimmel. Most nominated this year with 14 nominations is Damien Chazelle's musical La La Land, which ties with only two previous films in Oscar history with this extremely high number of nominations, (All About Eve (1950) and Titanic (1997).)
Following are the predictions and favorites of Film Excess for the ceremony, which seem more uncertain than some other years due to the limited amount of nominated films watched yet. This again is due to the films mostly arriving in a block right around the time of the show and other circumstances.
As usual the 3 short film categories are left out here because I have no qualified opinion about them.
Red marks the person/s or film I predict will win the Oscar
Film Excess favorite marks the person/s or film I hope will win the Oscar
