94th Oscar Nominee Predictions
The end of awards season is nigh. Tomorrow, The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (commonly referred to as AMPAS or simply The Academy) will reveal the awards bodies nominees for the 94th Oscars® will be announced in all 23 Academy Award® categories as part of a live presentation hosted by actor-comedian Leslie Jordan (Will & Grace, The Help) and actor-CEO-producer Tracee Ellis Ross (Black-ish, The High Note) beginning at 5:18 Pacific Standard Time on Oscar.com, Oscars.org, The Academy's Twitter, YouTube, and Facebook pages, as well as on news programs such as Good Morning America and ABC News Live. So, for the first time since starting Austin B Media, I wanted to predict what will be nominated for an Academy Award® tomorrow morning.
