What even are Oscar predictions, really?

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.
