I still need picks from @James.B @flickchick85 @scarlet-witch @killface @Kev4000

IDK what to do with PGA. It's so up in the air. I can imagine 3 films winning it. I'm tempted to go rogue too on my SAG choices but... I still didn't. I might change my mind last minute though.

 

[scarlet-witch]

I forgot PGA's were today. Submitted both those and SAG.

 

[scarlet-witch]

Damn it I already got a PGA pick wrong. Screw you, Apollo 11.

 

[kvz5]

LOL I think I got that and only because that’s the only one I’ve heard of so I picked it.

It got snubbed for Oscar so I picked one that wasn't even though the only one I've seen is One Child Nation.

I've seen Apollo 11, One Child Nation, and American Factory and it seems like it's a three way race.

 

[scarlet-witch]

Why am I even playing? Lmao at least I'll get something right at the SAGs tonight.

 

[Kaleb]

Urgh, why did I only see this thread now.

 

[kvz5]

I’m not brave enough to change my picks but a big part of me expects a SAG upset for JLo like when Blunt or Elba won despite missing an Oscar mom.

 

[scarlet-witch]

I know I'm playing it safe. I don't get to take risks anymore.

Ok @kvz5 , you can officially drop the whole idiot savant act now. We are onto you!

[scarlet-witch]

I actually did really good tonight! Parasite!!

[flickchick85]

Holy ****. Pretty sure Parasite’s the first ever foreign language film to win this. Definitely happy to have gotten that one wrong!

[scarlet-witch]

The First Film category is so stacked. Really just impressive work all around

I have no idea about Documentary considering I thought One Child Nation would be a huge front runner and it didn't even get an Oscar nomination.

 

[scarlet-witch]

Alma Har'el won! Yaaassssss!

 

[kvz5]

I’m 0/2 so far.

ETA: Got Mendes right but not the first time and documentary.
