EYE ON THE PRIZE: SECOND ROUND OF OSCAR PREDICTIONS

With the Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild nominations out, along with the shortlists for certain categories, it’s time to refresh our Oscar nomination predictions. Will Netflix dominate the scene with films like The Irishman and Marriage Story? Will Joker match its box-office success with Oscar love? Who is going to be unfairly snubbed at the Oscars? For this round, ‘Dark Horses’ will be left off to narrow down the picks.
