OSCARS 2020 - MY HOPES

Actor in a Leading Role - I hope for Leonardo DiCaprio for "Once upon a Time... in Hollywood", alternatively Jonathan Pryce for "The Two Popes".

Actor in a Supporting Role - I haven't seen "A Beautiful Day in the Neighbourhood", from the remaining ones I'm rooting for Anthony Hopkins in "The Two Popes", alternatively Brad Pitt for ""Once upon a Time... in Hollywood".

Actress in a Leading Role - I haven't seen "Harriett", from the remaining onesRenée Zellweger is probably the best, alternatively I can accept Charlize Theron in "Bombshell" but Saoirse Ronan in "Little Women" and Scarlett Johansson in "Marriage Story" were too annoying.

Actress in a Supporting Role - no greats either, Kathy Bates, Laura Dern and Margot Robbie did well, Florence Pugh so-so and Scarlett Johansson in "Jojo Rabbit" was disastrous, far from an Oscar for sure.

Animated Feature Film - I haven't seen "I Lost My Body" and "Klaus", the other three were mediocre.

Cinematography - "Joker" best and definitely not "The Lighthouse" or "1917".

Costume Design - nothing spotless but "Little Women" had some lovely ballroom gowns.

Directing - Martin Scorsese for "The Irishman", alternatively Todd Phillips for "Joker", definitely not Sam Mendes for "1917".

Documentary Feature - I've only seen "Honeyland" and that was brilliant.

Documentary Short Subject - haven't seen any.

Film Editing - anything but that rubbish "Jojo Rabbit".

International Feature Film - "Dolor y gloria" ("Pain and Glory"), alternatively "Honeyland", the worst was "Les Misérables".

Makeup and Hairstyling - "Maleficent: Mistress of Evil", alternatively "Joker".

Music (Original Score) - only "Joker".

Music (Original Song) - only "Into the Unknown" from "Frozen II".

Best Picture - "Ford v Ferrari", "The Irishman", "Joker" or "Once upon a Time... in Hollywood".

Production Design - "Once upon a Time... in Hollywood" but "기생충" ("Parasite") or "The Irishman" will be fine too.

Short Film (Animated) - "Sister" is my fave but anything but Czech "Dcera" ("Daughter") will be fine with me.

Short Film (Live Action) - I haven't seen any.

Sound Editing - "Ford v Ferrari" or "Joker".

Sound Mixing - "Joker" or "Ford v Ferrari".

Visual Effects - "The Irishman" or "The Lion King".

Writing (Adapted Screenplay) - "The Irishman", "Joker" or "The Two Popes".

Writing (Original Screenplay) - "Once upon a Time... in Hollywood", "Knives Out" or "Marriage Story", alternatively "기생충" ("Parasite"), definitely not "1917".
