And The Winners At The Oscars On Sunday Could Be…

As the countdown to the  89th Oscar ceremony scheduled for February 26  (Sunday) begins, the guessing game about the ‘sureshot’ winners is intensifying – throughout the world.

Opinions of critics and assorted soothsayers is mixed but not radically so. In the year gone by, the Hollywood output and that of other nations which figure in the charmed roster of nominations, the themes and styles have largely ranged from the dark to the darker.

In the event, the feel-wonderful rom-musical La La Land could well dominate the  globally-monitored Academy Awards ceremony which  will be conducted at the commodious Dolby Theatre of Los Angeles.

Of course, frequently the Oscar show is known to have sprung surprises – pleasant and unpleasant. Allegations of ‘politically-correct’ and ‘totally biased’ winners have been endemic.

Any which way, the Oscars remain the most prestigeous film awards of its ilk. And here’s my – SpotboyE.com’s – predictions for the winners, in 12 major categories, who might just sashay away with the shiny statuettes, come Sunday.
