94th Academy Awards Predictions – Oscars Watch

Solzy at the Movies presents predictions for the 94th Oscars as the Academy Awards will be aired tonight on ABC, for better or worse.

If you are participating in any pools, please be advised that the Oscars will start being announced during the red carpet. Make sure to follow the social media channels because the Oscars will announce them on social media well before the live telecast begins. It is one of the worst mistakes in history of the Academy and I hope that this does not happen next year. The whole idea of combining Sound Mixing and Sound Editing into Sound was to appease both ABC and the Academy. And now? The category is not even on the LIVE TELECAST. PRESENT ALL 23!

Tune in tonight to find out to see if my predictions come into fruition! I’ll be posting live updates during the telecast both here and on my Twitter.
