We’re mere hours away from the 92nd Academy Awards and with that, we have some last-minute predictions for who we think will take home the grand prize for their respective categories.

Find our predicted winners as well as who we think should win, as we all know that these are often two very different things.

Best Picture:

Who will win: 1917
Who should win: Marriage Story or Parasite

Marriage Story was my #1 of the year but I’m aware it sadly has no shot of taking him the top prize. 1917 seems to be the favorite here but it seems Parasite is really making a last-minute surge, which is something we’d be perfectly ok with.

Best Director:

Who will win: Sam Mendes
Who should win: Bong Joon Ho

It seems to Mendes’ to lose but it would be cool to see Bong take this home. Either way, we won’t be too upset.

Best Actor:

Who will win: Joaquin Phoenix
Who should win: Adam Driver

We all know Phoenix is taking this home and as great as he is in Joker, we think Driver is just a tad bit more deserving.

Best Actress:

Who will win: Renee Zellweger
Who should win: Scarlett Johansson

Zellweger is the best part of a perfect “fine” film but Johansson delivers arguably her best performance to date.

Best Supporting Actor:

Who will win: Brad Pitt
Who should win: Brad Pitt

Brad Pitt is finally getting his Oscar (non-producing!)

At least Marriage Story is seemingly a lock for something…
