The longest Awards Season of all time has come to an end. This Sunday, the 93rd Academy Awards will take place and the season closes up. It’s been a rollercoaster of a ride with no clear front runner until recently while some categories including Lead Actress, Adapted Screenplay, and Film Editing are a complete toss-up.
