Here are our predictions!"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>With awards season about to hit the high point in the coming weeks, we\u2019ve decided to do something a little different: this is musicMagpie predicts the Oscars.<\/p>\n<p>Established in 1927, the Academy of Motion Pictures and Sciences (or AMPAS for short) has endeavoured to honour the best the film industry has to offer. Sometimes it\u2019s spot-on, other times it is horribly misguided (as a certain inclusion in the 84<sup>th<\/sup> Academy Awards\u2019 Best Picture line-up shows), and this year marks the 89<sup>th<\/sup> edition of the awards ceremony. With that said, onto the predictions&#8230;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><strong>Best Picture<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>So far, three films seem ideally set up for the fight for the top prize: modern day musical <em>La La Land<\/em>, family drama <em>Manchester by the Sea<\/em> and acclaimed black LGBT drama <em>Moonlight<\/em>. All three films have been prominent in the awards season battle this year with <em>Moonlight <\/em>and <em>La La Land<\/em> taking the majority of the honours.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5fYFIj16YC0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>As for the final slots (the new Best Picture rules allows for between five and ten nominees), a lot of filmsare contenders. These include sci-fi thriller <em>Arrival<\/em>, action drama <em>Hell or High Water<\/em>, Denzel Washington\u2019s adaptation of August Wilson\u2019s acclaimed play <em>Fences<\/em>, Mel Gibson\u2019s war film (and first as director in a decade) <em>Hacksaw Ridge, <\/em>Martin Scorsese\u2019s religious drama <em>Silence, <\/em>crowd-pleasers <em>Hidden Figures<\/em> and <em>Lion<\/em> and biopics <em>Jackie<\/em>, <em>Loving and<\/em> <em>Sully<\/em>. All of whom have factored in the awards season at some point. With those listed, here are MM\u2019s predictions for the nominees:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>Arrival<\/em> (Paramount Pictures (US), eOne (UK))<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>Fences <\/em>(Paramount Pictures)<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>Hacksaw Ridge<\/em> (Lionsgate)<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>Hell or High Water<\/em> (CBS Films (US), StudioCanal (UK))<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>Jackie<\/em> (Fox Searchlight Pictures (US), eOne (UK))<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>La La Land <\/em>(Lionsgate)<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>Lion<\/em> (The Weinstein Company (US), Entertainment Film Distributors (UK))<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>Manchester by the Sea<\/em> (Amazon (US), StudioCanal (UK))<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>Moonlight<\/em> (A24 (US), Altitude Film Distribution (UK))<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>Silence <\/em>(Paramount Pictures (US), StudioCanal (UK))<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><strong>Best Director<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Like the Best Picture category, three helmsmen look set to be announced as nominees in the Best Director category: Damien Chazelle (<em>La La Land<\/em>), Kenneth Lonergan (<em>Manchester by the Sea<\/em>) and Barry Jenkins (<em>Moonlight<\/em>). Fun fact: if Chazelle were to be nominated and win in this category, he would be the youngest Best Director winner in Academy history.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0pdqf4P9MB8\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Anyway, back on topic. Question is who will join them? So far the likes of David Mackenzie (<em>Hell or High Water<\/em>), Mel Gibson (<em>Hacksaw Ridge<\/em>), Pablo Larrain (<em>Jackie<\/em>) and Denis Villeneuve (<em>Arrival<\/em>) have all showed up at various prize-givings and critics\u2019 awards.<\/p>\n<p>Out of those, Gibson could happen since <em>Hacksaw Ridge<\/em> is quite Academy-friendly (war film) but Mackenzie could benefit from the sleeper hit status of <em>Hell or High Water<\/em> and Villeneuve has the pedigree (there\u2019s a reason Warner Bros and Sony chose him as the director of <em>Blade Runner 2049<\/em>) and the studio to back him but the sci-fi ghetto may prove a problem.<\/p>\n<p>But one name that could arrive late in the game is Martin Scorsese since he has been an AMPAS favourite in recent years and a veteran slot is up for grabs. With that said, here are our predictions:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Damien Chazelle \u201d\u201c <em>La La Land<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Barry Jenkins \u201d\u201c <em>Moonlight<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Kenneth Lonergan \u201d\u201c <em>Manchester by the Sea<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Martin Scorsese \u201d\u201c <em>Silence<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Denis Villeneuve \u201d\u201c <em>Arrival<\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><strong>Best Actor<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>So far, one name has dominated the awards season\u2019s Best Actor accolades and looks like locked for a nomination (and most likely the win); Casey Affleck, for his portrayal of a Boston janitor coping with loss and responsibility in <em>Manchester by the Sea<\/em>. So far, Affleck seems unstoppable but a few names look set to join him in this category.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NxQmuJnrjxg\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Among them are Ryan Gosling (<em>La La Land<\/em>), Viggo Mortensen (<em>Captain Fantastic<\/em>), Andrew Garfield (who has two films in <em>Silence<\/em> and <em>Hacksaw Ridge<\/em>), Joel Edgerton (<em>Loving<\/em>) and veteran actors and former Oscar winners Denzel Washington (<em>Fences<\/em>) and Tom Hanks (<em>Sully<\/em>).<\/p>\n<p>In an ideal world, Adam Driver would be a factor in the Oscar race for his powerhouse performance in Jim Jarmusch\u2019s 21<sup>st<\/sup> Century opus <em>Paterson<\/em>. But as the events of 2016 have proven, reality is a harsh mistress most of the time. Yes, there\u2019s not much to talk about here so on with the predictions:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Casey Affleck \u201d\u201c <em>Manchester by the Sea<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Andrew Garfield \u201d\u201c <em>Hacksaw Ridge<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Ryan Gosling \u201d\u201c <em>La La Land<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Viggo Mortensen \u201d\u201c <em>Captain Fantastic<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Denzel Washington &#8211; <em>Fences<\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><strong>Best Actress<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>This year, it\u2019s all been about two names: Emma Stone and Natalie Portman, with their respective performances as a struggling actress in <em>La La Land<\/em> and Jackie Kennedy in <em>Jackie<\/em>. With one of these two likely winning the award, it makes sense for them to be locked in.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/g9pW3B8Ycc4\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>As for the remaining contenders, one name who could be on the charge for her first nomination is French actress Isabelle Huppert (revered by many as the French Meryl Streep) for Paul Verhoeven\u2019s revenge thriller <em>Elle<\/em> in a performance that has seen her as an unexpected force on the awards season path (including an unexpected Golden Globe victory in the Drama Actress category over favourite Portman).<\/p>\n<p>Other contenders include frequent Academy bridesmaids Amy Adams (<em>Arrival<\/em>) and Annette Bening, relative newcomer Ruth Negga (<em>Loving<\/em>) and Oscar default choice Meryl Streep (<em>Florence Foster Jenkins<\/em>). With that said:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Amy Adams \u201d\u201c <em>Arrival<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Isabelle Huppert \u201d\u201c <em>Elle<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Natalie Portman \u201d\u201c <em>Jackie<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Emma Stone \u201d\u201c <em>La La Land<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Meryl Streep \u201d\u201c <em>Florence Foster Jenkins<\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><strong>Best Supporting Actor<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Like Affleck in the leading equivalent, Best Supporting Actor has seen the domination of one man; Netflix series regular Mahershala Ali (<em>House of Cards<\/em>, <em>Marvel\u2019s Luke Cage<\/em>) for his performance as drug dealer Juan in <em>Moonlight<\/em>, which has seen him net practically all Best Supporting Actor accolades rewarded.<\/p>\n<p>However, like Scorsese in directing, there may be competition from some late-challengers which, oddly enough, both come from <em>Silence<\/em> in the form of supporting players Adam Driver, Liam Neeson and Issey Ogata.<\/p>\n<p>Other names that have a chance here include <em>Nocturnal Animals<\/em> players Michael Shannon and Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Jeff Bridges and Ben Foster (<em>Hell or High Water<\/em>), Lucas Hedges (<em>Manchester by the Sea<\/em>) and Dev Patel (<em>Lion<\/em>). There could even be a surprise with Ali facing internal competition from a number of players (including Trevante Rhodes). With those listed, here are our predictions:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Mahershala Ali \u201d\u201c <em>Moonlight<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Jeff Bridges \u201d\u201c <em>Hell or High Water<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Lucas Hedges \u201d\u201c <em>Manchester by the Sea<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Dev Patel \u201d\u201c <em>Lion <\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Michael Shannon \u201d\u201c <em>Nocturnal Animals<\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><strong>Best Supporting Actress<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Up until recently, it seemed certain that Michelle Williams would be given her dues for her performance in <em>Manchester by the Sea<\/em>. But now she faces competition from <em>Fences<\/em> player Viola Davis, who was moved from lead to supporting and comes with an \u201d\u02dcoverdue\u2019 narrative (which has been forming since she lost out on a Best Actress trophy in 2012) in her hand.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jj-ZYPVRQbc\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Thus like this year\u2019s Best Actress field, it\u2019s all about two ladies with three more lucky to be coming along for the ride. Those names include Nicole Kidman (<em>Lion<\/em>), former winner Octavia Spencer (<em>Hidden Figures<\/em>) and recent Bond addition Naomie Harris (<em>Moonlight<\/em>). Here\u2019s our predicted line-up:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Viola Davis \u201d\u201c <em>Fences<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Naomie Harris \u201d\u201c <em>Moonlight<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Nicole Kidman \u201d\u201c <em>Lion<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Octavia Spencer \u201d\u201c <em>Hidden Figures<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Michelle Williams \u201d\u201c <em>Manchester by the Sea<\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><strong>Screenwriting\u00a0Awards<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Now onto the categories honouring Original and Adapted screenplay. Up until recently, it looked like it was going to be a massive competition for Original Screenplay. But with both <em>Moonlight<\/em> and <em>Loving<\/em> being deemed adaptations, it appears the way has been cleared for Kenneth Lonergan to secure a nomination and win for <em>Manchester by the Sea<\/em> (which has claimed quite a number of screenwriting awards over the past month).<\/p>\n<p>Other films that look set to join him include <em>La La Land<\/em> and <em>Hell or High Water<\/em> (penned by <em>Sicario<\/em> scribe Taylor Sheridan) with the last two spots up for grabs. Among the films in contention are surrealist black comedy <em>The Lobster<\/em>, <em>Jackie<\/em>, German dramedy <em>Toni Erdmann<\/em>, and an outside chance of Jim Jarmusch making a surprise appearance for <em>Paterson<\/em> (whose script is something the writing branch could embrace). Here\u2019s how the Original Screenplay field could look:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Taylor Sheridan \u201d\u201c <em>Hell or High Water<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Noah Oppenheim \u201d\u201c <em>Jackie <\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Damien Chazelle \u201d\u201c <em>La La Land<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Kenneth Lonergan \u201d\u201c <em>Manchester by the Sea<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Maren Ade \u201d\u201c <em>Toni Erdmann<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Prior to the previously mentioned movements of films from category to category, <em>Arrival<\/em> and <em>Silence <\/em>seemed like the best bets for taking victory in the barren wasteland that is the Best Adapted Screenplay field.<\/p>\n<p>However, with the arrival of <em>Moonlight<\/em> (adapted from Tarell Alvin McCreaney\u2019s play <em>In Moonlight, Black Boys Appear Blue<\/em>), chances of Martin Scorsese scoring Oscar number two and the sci-fi ghetto facing further demolition have been dashed..<\/p>\n<p>Other names look set to appear in this category are the aforementioned <em>Loving<\/em>, Jane Austen comedy <em>Love &amp; Friendship<\/em>, <em>Lion<\/em>, <em>Hidden Figures<\/em>, <em>Fences<\/em> (penned by author the late August Wilson with an uncredited rewrite by Tony Kushner) and <em>Nocturnal Animals<\/em>. Here are our predictions for Adapted Screenplay:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Eric Heisserer \u201d\u201c <em>Arrival<\/em> (based on <em>Story of Your Life<\/em> by Ted Chiang)<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">August Wilson \u201d\u201c <em>Fences<\/em> (based on his play)<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Barry Jenkins \u201d\u201c <em>Moonlight<\/em> (based on the play <em>In Moonlight, Black Boys Appear Blue<\/em> by Tarell Alvin McCreaney)<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Tom Ford \u201d\u201c <em>Nocturnal Animals<\/em> (based on <em>Tony and Susan<\/em> by Austin Wright)<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Jay Cocks and Martin Scorsese \u201d\u201c <em>Silence<\/em> (based on the novel by Sh\u00c5\u00absaku End\u00c5\u008d)<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><strong>Best Animated Feature<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Finally, before I summarise the final categories in list form, we move onto Best Animated Feature, and boy is it loaded.<\/p>\n<p>Among the contenders are three Disney products in <em>Moana<\/em> (in cinemas now), <em>Zootropolis<\/em> (available to buy now) and <em>Finding Dory<\/em> (<a href=\"https:\/\/store.musicmagpie.co.uk\/products\/stantonandfindingdor\">available to buy now<\/a>), whose company has had a big influence on this category along with Dreamworks (who have two films in contention: <em>Kung Fu Panda 3 <\/em>(<a href=\"https:\/\/store.musicmagpie.co.uk\/products\/yuhjennifekungfupand\">available to buy<\/a>) and <em>Trolls<\/em>).<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VCDQRy1od30\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Other companies and their produce include previously nominated stop-motion company LAIKA and their latest work <em>Kubo and the Two Strings<\/em>, adult animation <em>Sausage Party<\/em> and numerous foreign-produced works including <em>The Red Turtle<\/em> (from Studio Ghibli), <em>My Life as a Courgette<\/em> and <em>Your Name<\/em>.
