2019 Oscar Predictions: PRODUCTION DESIGN and COSTUME DESIGN (December)

Nothing is going to unseat The Favourite from likely double wins in these two categories (that have often gone hand in hand).

Lots of green this month though after BFCA noms, we’ll see what the guilds in these fields bring us next month. 

Bohemian Rhapsody makes big moves in both on the strength of its Golden Globe and SAG nominations.

Here are my 2019 Oscar predictions in Production Design for December 19, 2018.
