Jonathan Lack's complete 86th Academy Awards Predictions
www.jonathanlack.com
With the 86th annual Academy Awards telecast upon us this Sunday night, it is time to take one final look-back at the year in film. I have made my position on the Oscars plenty clear in the past – they are almost always silly, often infuriating, and wholly reductive to celebrating the breadth and depth of a year’s cinematic accomplishments – and while I never write about awards season much, I do follow it with a sort of benign curiosity, and at least like to put out my official predictions when the time comes. This allows me to look smarter than I am, because even in a year as competitive as this, the Oscars are easy to predict, but more importantly, it allows me to talk about these films and these performances and this technical achievements of the previous year one last time.
