Predicting the four acting races for the 2020 Oscars is easy this year, but there's still drama in the best picture race and others
You don’t have to be a #BongHive believer to see a path for “Parasite” winning best picture that goes deeper than reading the applause-meter at awards season events.
I think “Parasite” will nab the Oscars for film editing and original screenplay, awards that are often intertwined with the eventual best picture winner. And given the love and acclaim for Bong Joon Ho’s masterpiece, you’d figure it’s going to consistently land high as voters rank the nominees on the motion picture academy’s preferential ballot.
So, yes, “Parasite” could win. But odds are it won’t. “1917" won the Golden Globe for drama and top honors from the producers and directors guilds and the British Film Academy . That’s a war chest full of significant precursors. It’ll rank high on voters’ ballots too. And it doesn’t have a separate category where it can honored, as “Parasite” does with the international feature film category.I hope I’m wrong.
