It's no catch. I purposely left it out of my predictions.

This is way too soon, but here's goes anyway.
That's kind of the point of this contest. That's why it's PSYCHIC Oscars! It'd be fun to see what we were speculating around April, May and what would turn out to be the actual contenders are come December.

2017 Predictions (Revised 6/20/2017)

This is way too soon, but here's goes anyway.

I'm tentatively on board with Paul Thomas Anderson's Phantom Thread, even though it still sounds iffy, but Spielberg's newly title The Papers hasn't even begun filming yet, so no way am I going to predict that one.

I’ve listed ten films for Best Picture, but I think only 8-9 will actually be nominated.

I listed animated films only because they’re one of the requirements. I doubt that any of them will actually be nominated.

I chose Cinematography as my extra category.

BEST PICTURE
Breathe
Call Me by Your Name
Darkest Hour
Dunkirk
The Greatest Showman (Winner)
Lean on Pete

Psychic Oscar Predictions Contest!

Post by anonymous1980 »

Who among us is psychic? Time to find out!

It's easy to predict the Oscars in December but it almost takes a psychic to predict them even before half the year is over. Let's see who will be able to be more accurate in predicting the Oscars this early.

THE RULES:

01. Post your predictions for the nominees AND winners in the following categories:

Picture
Director
Actor
Actress
Supporting Actor
Supporting Actress
Original Screenplay
Adapted Screenplay
Animated Feature
and one WILD CARD category of your own choice. (Documentary Feature? Visual Effects? Sound Mixing?)

Predict a minimum of 5 and a maximum of 10 for Picture and 5 for the rest of the categories.

2. You get a point for each correct nominee prediction. Three points for a correct winner prediction. If you pick Foreign Language, Documentary or the Shorts categories for your Wild Card category, you get 2 points for each correct predictions for those.

3. You will get double the points if you are able to predict at least 8 of the Best Picture nominees and at least 4 out of 5 nominees in the rest of the categories.

4. Wrong placement of the nominees (Supporting/Lead; Original/Adapted) will not count.

5. Most points wins.

6. Deadline for entries and edits is on June 30. You may edit as much as you can before then but anyone caught editing their entries after that deadline will be disqualified.

BONUS POINTS QUESTIONS (optional):

1. Who will receive Honorary Awards? (a maximum of five guesses, each correct guess is 2 points)

2. How many Best Picture nominees will there be? (2 points) (Your answer here need not match the number of your predictions)

3. Who will host? (2 points) (I will not count this if they announce before June 30)

So...good luck to all our psychics!
