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.

First Off; Regardless of how every single one of my other predictions favors. 'Call Me By Your Name' WILL be the Big Winner heading out of the Oscars Come Next Year, Mark My Words!
Also, I believe next year we'll see the return of #OscarsSoWhite, (at least in the acting categories.) That's what I believe what'll push Academy Voters to have Jordan Peele win Best Original Screenplay for 'Get Out' over 'The Papers' perceived win. The Massive, Overwhelming love for 'Call Me By Your Name' will have Luca Guadagnino Win Best Director Next Year, along with James Ivory's Anticipated Recognition in the form of an Adapted Screenplay Win. (Note: as of now, I don't see anyone sweeping the Acting Awards Next Year like Viola Davis did this Year. Almost everyone who wins the SAG will win the Oscar.)
BEST ACTOR:
I firmly believe Gary Oldman would be the "Audience" Favorite heading in, winning the Golden Globe for Best Actor in a Drama. But I believe (much like Cumberbatch during Mid-Late 2015 Awards Season) his steam will run from when the film premieres, all the way to the start of the season, then It'll start to die down. That's when Andrew Garfield will pop out of nowhere, winning the majority of the critics awards (including the Critics Choice Award for Best Actor) all the way to a BAFTA Win. But, in the end; It'll go down between Andrew Garfield in 'Breathe,' and Daniel Day Lewis for his final performance in 'Phantom Thread.' Garfield will unexpectedly loose the SAG to Day Lewis, which will cause him to also loose the Oscar, in what would be a heartfelt sentimental victory for DDL as gives his final Oscar Acceptance Speech, capping off one of the greatest Acting Careers in History.
BEST ACTRESS:
The Race will start with Francis McDormand and Jennifer Lawrence, who'll both win Actress Golden Globes for the 2 Categories. Lawrence will win the BAFTA, but loose the Critics Choice Award and the SAG to McDormand. Which will cause everybody to be predicting McDormand as the frontrunner, but then Daniela Vega (who wasn't nominated for a Globe or a BAFTA) will pull off one of the biggest Oscar Upsets ever, winning the Academy Award for Best Actress and becoming the first Transgender to do so.
BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR:
I personally believe Amazon will push Bryan Cranston for 'Supporting' this time around, due to the possibility of less competition for Heisenberg. Michael Stulhbarg will loose the Globe to William Dafoe, and be snubbed for a BAFTA Nomination. Only to win a last second SAG award and pick up a Best Supporting Actor Win for his Tender, Tearjerking, and Caring Performance in 'Call Me By Your Name.' Plus, he's respected by just about everyone in the industry. Sure, Dafoe is also very respected, but a possible win for him would turn off a lot of voters if they think they have snub Stulhbarg to throw him a bone.
BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS:
I think next year Streep will be heading back into the Supporting Category for 'The Papers.' I not 100% confident in the Academy handing her a Another Lead Actress Nom when there are so many others, they'll still nominate her of course, but It'll instead be for the latter to beef up that category. Plus, very early on everybody thought Rachel McAdams would get a similar lead actress nom for 'Spotlight.' As he she WAS perceived to be one of the few leads in the Film. But in the end, she was nominated for supporting instead. As for the winner; Michelle Pfeiffer will be the beloved Favorite by just about everyone heading into Awards Season, winning the Globe and the BAFTA, also the majority of the Critics Awards. It'll last until word is spread around of Melissa Leo being an unexpected contender after winning the Critics Choice Award. An SAG win will make her a front runner and the enviable winner. Leo will then win her 2nd Oscar in a shocking upset.
