AwardsWatch - 2018 Oscar Predictions (June): BLADE RUNNER 2049 Tops Cinematography, Film Editing, Original Score, Production Design

2018 Oscar Predictions (June): BLADE RUNNER 2049 Tops Cinematography, Film Editing, Original Score, Production Design

One place Wonderstruck remains strong is in Costume Design. Traversing two time periods, the 1920s and the 1950s, the diversity of costumes from 3-time Oscar winner and 12-time nominee Sandy Powell will be richly on display. She could also show up as double nominee (as she did in 2016 and 1999) for How to Talk to Girls at Parties. Paul Thomas Anderson’s Phantom Thread, if it actually comes out in 2017, seems like a shoe-in for a costume nomination as its entire premise is about a costume designer. The Greatest Showman, Darkest Hour and Beauty and the Beast (2017) round out the top 5 this month.

Erik Anderson is the founder/owner and Editor-in-Chief of AwardsWatch and has always loved all things Oscar, having watched the Academy Awards since he was in single digits; making lists, rankings and predictions throughout the show. This led him down the path to obsessing about awards. 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.
