Reel 360’s 2020 Academy Awards predictions

We are only hours away from Hollywood royalty parading into the Dolby Theater in Hollywood to celebrate the 92nd Academy Awards. The 2019 Oscars garnered 29.6 million viewers and a 7.7 rating among the key demographic of adults age 18 to 49, which represented an uptick from the all-time low ratings in 2018. There was also a 3.1 million viewer increase between the 90th and 91st Academy Awards, breaking a four-year streak of declining ratings.

We shall see if having no host, and hopefully a speedier show, will help continue a ratings upswing. Reel 360’s Oscar prognosticators have put their combined brain power and have come up with the following predictions. Here are sure bets:

The will be no female director winners. Well, of course there aren’t, as once again no female directors were nominated despite rave reviews for such films as The Farewell (which just won the Spirit Award for Best Feature), Little Women, Booksmart (which just won the Spirit Award for Best First Feature).

No African American, Asian or Latino actors will win in the major acting categories except for possibly Cynthia Erivo for Harriet. However, she will not win.

That said, there are some fantastic films nominated, but the battle should be between Parasite, 1917 and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and Marriage Story for tonight’s Academy Awards.
