2018 Oscar Predictions: Blade Runner, Detroit, Dunkirk, Phantom Thread Top Tech Predictions (July)

Published by

The July predictions for Cinematography, Film Editing, Original Score, Production Design and Costume Design for the 2018 Oscars open up a bit from last month where Blade Runner 2049 dominated. The sci-fi sequel starring Ryan Gosling and Harrison Ford returning to one of his most iconic roles still leads the Cinematography race (will this finally be Roger Deakins’ path to gold?) and Production Design but we have new leaders in Film Editing (Detroit), Original Score (Dunkirk) and Costume Design (Phantom Thread).

Outside of those top contenders July also sees surges for Get Out, The Shape of Water and current Best Picture frontrunner The Papers.

Here are the 2018 Oscar predictions from the Gold Rush Gang for July in Cinematography, Film Editing, Original Score, Production Design and Costume Design. You can track and follow these categories throughout the month here.

Much later, he found himself in film school and the film forums of GoldDerby, and then migrated over to the former Oscarwatch (now AwardsDaily), before breaking off to create AwardsWatch in 2013. He is a Rotten Tomatoes-approved critic, accredited by the Cannes Film Festival, Telluride Film Festival, Toronto International Film Festival and more, is a member of the International Cinephile Society (ICS), The Society of LGBTQ Entertainment Critics (GALECA), Hollywood Critics Association (HCA) and the International Press Academy. Among his many achieved goals with AwardsWatch, he has given a platform to underrepresented writers and critics and supplied them with access to film festivals and the industry and calls the Bay Area his home where he lives with his husband and son.
