2017 Oscar Predictions

For once I am completely at peace with the biggest category, the only one that matters. Best Actress. If Emma Stone wins as expected, it'd be wonderful and exciting for an actor I've loved since Easy A. If Isabelle Huppert upsets, it would also be wonderful. Two great performances this year including one in my favourite film of the year, Things to Come.

Here are my final predictions:
