Final Predictions for the 91st Academy Awards

After a wild Oscar season, the 91st Academy Awards have finally arrived. The 2018 season will go down as one of the most unpredictable seasons to date. Despite recording a new episode of Reel Chronicles this past Sunday, my predictions have once again changed in some major categories.

While the 90th Academy Awards were my best as of yet with predictions, hitting on 23/24 categories, it is safe to say this year may go a bit different.

Here are my no guts, no glory predictions for the 91st Academy Awards.
