Whoa, just got these picks in by the hair of my chinny chin chin. Usually, I knock these out right when they’re announced. Work. Kids. Soccer games. Traffic. Commute. Life. All that shit got in the way. But, I did manage to get Eimer's Best Movies of 2018 out there! Yay!
Oh, well. Better late than never. My choices and notes in red.
I think, this year, Roma will probably win the most awards including the first movie to win both Foreign Language Film and Best Picture, but the rest of the awards will be scattered everywhere, like the wild wild west. At least that's what I think.
I'm picking different wins for Sound Mixing and Sound Editing this year, which almost never happens. And also picking Spike Lee to win Best Director for BlacKkKlansman even though the Director's Guild already handed the award to Alfonso Cuaron on Silver Platter.
