So there it is. Congratulations to all of this year’s nominees. James Franco didn’t get a nomination. I wonder why ? What do you guys think ? Who got snubbed. Who will win. Who will cry ?
I will have to mull this over. I have yet to see many of these films, so this year more than before my Oscar predictions will be a complete coin toss. But I´ll give it go, and hope for the best.
The 90th Academy Awards will take place on Sunday, March 4th at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood airing on ABC starting at 7PM (EST) / 4PM (PST).
The upcoming 2018 ceremony is again being hosted by comedian Jimmy Kimmel.
