Final Oscar Predictions

With just two days until the big winners are announced, the dust has more or less cleared thanks to the various precursor awards and we know have a decent idea how this could go. The acting races are pretty much sewn up with Phoneix, Zellwegger, Pitt, and Dern all practically guaranteed a win in their individual category. The real question marks are the writing and below the line categories, and of course Best Picture. The big prize in question seems to have come down to 1917 Vs Parasite, but don't count out Once Upon a Time in Hollywood yet.
