Academy Award Predictions 2021 & Oscar Ballot Sheet

Here’s the full list of this year’s Academy Award nominees vying to take home those coveted Oscar statues on Sunday, April 25th, 2021 (or the early hours of Monday 26th if you’re on the other side of the planet like me). 

You can download my PDF ballot sheet here that can be completed digitally or printed and written on. Have a go at predicting the winners or challenge your friends and family to do the same. I usually like to score 2pts for every correct first choice, and 1pt for every second choice winner.

Below, I’ve put who the predicted winners are thought to be, as well as my runner up choices with an outside chance of taking it and in some cases those I’d personally like to see win.

Oscars Ballot Sheet 2021DOWNLOAD PDF

A few things to watch out for:

  • Potentially the first time all acting winners are people of colour, including a posthumous win for Chadwick Boseman.
  • Mank, despite having the most nominations may go home empty-handed, Citizen Kane only won one Academy Award itself.
  • It could be the second year in a row that the Best Picture is primarily in Korean if Minari manages a surprise win thanks to preferential balloting.
  • Despite Hamilton not being deemed eligible, Leslie Odom Jr. will likely win an Oscar for his song Speak Now, or if not, it could be Diane Warren’s year to finally win after 12 nominations!

oscar2019ballotPDF

Oscar2019Ballot

Here’s my printable Oscar Ballot Sheet for this year’s nominees, due to be awarded on Sunday, February 24th 2019. I’ve seen a few of the films so far, though I hope to improve on that over the coming fortnight and will update my site with as many reviews as I can find the time to do.

Download the PDF here or as an image file by clicking on that thumbnail. Have a go at predicting this year’s winners and why not challenge your friends and family to do the same.

I use the system of 1. for my first choice of who I think will most likely win, 2. for a backup choice of who could win it if not the favourite, and P. for my personal choice of who I’d vote for. These can then be scored as 2 points for a correct first choice and 1 point for a second choice, no points are awarded for personal picks.

I’ll post my predictions a few days before the little gold men are given out on Sunday, February 24th 2019.

You can also download the full Oscar Watchlist 2019 with all the films nominated this year, listed with details of where they are available to be seen so you can work your way through them too.

BAFTA Film Award Nominations 2019

The nominees have just been announced for this year’s BAFTAs and as always there’s a strong British presence as well as love for a few films and performances that were ‘overlooked’ by the Golden Globes, while conversely downplaying the virtues of others they notably lauded.
