After another unpredictable season, the Academy Award nominations are right around the corner. The nominations will be announced at 8:15 AM (EST) on Monday morning. The Academy is always known to throw some curve balls at pundits and cinephiles on nomination morning and this year should be no different. Despite the curve balls, I feel pretty good with my predicted nominees for the 92nd Academy Awards. How right or wrong will I be? We’ll find out on Monday!
