Final 2016 Oscar Predictions
I’m exhausted and ready to move onto the 2017 Oscar predicting. The day before Oscars, I was asked like I usually am by a few people
“What’s winning Best Picture tomorrow?”
It sucks that the best I can give them is “either “The Revenant,” “The Big Short” or “Spotlight.”
We have just about as many predictable categories this year as we have unpredictable categories.
Anyway, check out our final 2016 Oscar Predictions below and check out our 2017 Oscar Predictions here.

Oscars: 2016 Winner Predictions and Full List
After “The Revenant” scored 12 nominations on Thursday morning, you have to start thinking that the HFPA favoring “The Revenant” to “Spotlight” wasn’t just a fluke.
We’ll watch and follow the momentum, there is still plenty of time before the Oscars, but we’ve seen this momentum change at the end all too often in the past few years. Primarily when it was supposed to go to “Boyhood” but went to “Birdman” and in 2011 when it was supposed to go to “The Social Network” but went to “The King’s Speech.”
Watch for the PGA and DGA winners as well to notice any significant momentum shift. “Spotlight” should win SAG and PGA, but I think all “The Revenant” needs is a push from a DGA win to secure its victory. If “The Revenant” wins PGA? Well, then it’s over.

Well here they are.
It’s been a very different year for award predictions, but thanks for baring with me. The nominations will be announced next week, and I feel very confident in my predictions.
At this stage, it definitely looks like “Spotlight” is our winner, however I’d watch out for a Director/Picture split. Potentially Miller could get away with murder here, overcoming a genre-bias Academy.
Here are our final predictions and stay tuned for more from us as the season continues.
