Ze Oscars

I think I'll watch the Oscars this year. Haven't watched it since 2007 and only then did I watch it because I was actually in California and so could watch it at 7pm instead of 2am. This year I've managed to see 8 of the 9 best pic nominees so have a bit of an interest. Parasite is released in Irish cinemas this friday so by sunday night it will be all 9. I genuinely like 4 of them but there's one I'd love to see win. It won't though.

Below's a list of what I think should win and what I think will win
