Bryan Bedder/Getty Images I've been making Oscar predictions for years now; I did it again this week!So many people make Oscar predictions now that there's a good argument to be made that it begins to create a false idea that people are "locks" or have "a spot."The writer Mark Harris (who, it's fair to note, is married to repeat nominee screenwriter Tony Kushner) has made a good argument that there's a downside to punditry and precursor awards, as they tend to distort the entire process.

On Febuary 16, 2018, rocked the Marvel Cinematic Universe and dominated the box office.A refreshing take in a crowded genre, Black Panther was a movie about tradition and science, a fantastic adventure located at the intersection of the past and the future.It showcased an Afro-futurist society steeped in history and imagination, centered on the classic tale of a king reclaiming his throne from an evil usurper.

The Academy's members gave Warren an honorary award last fall, which makes a fair bit of sense, given that she's never been far from their minds.She received her first Oscar nomination all the way back in 1988, yet she's never won in 13 (soon to be 14) tries.That honorary award would be much more welcome if it meant that Oscar voters would stop feeling obligated to nominate her, particularly when the songs she's written are 1) generic to the point of self-parody; and 2) extremely obscure.
