2023 Oscar Predictions

This year’s Oscars have an interesting timing, since the show is airing in the middle of my thesis shooting cycle (but fortunately during a filming break). It’s also interesting seeing this race unfold after taking a class about Oscar campaigns and meeting several of the nominees over the last several months.
