I did my BAFTA predictions and got about 50% of them right so I thought I would do this again for the Oscars. It’s hard to say predictions really because this blog should be called the La La Land awards! Yes, La La Land is expected to scoop up most of the awards this year as it has done at other award ceremony’s this year. However, they are not nominated for everything so I am going to see what they deserve.Â
