The Oscars are back and will air on March 10th, on ABC. 2023 was a fantastic year and film! Many of those pictures have been nominated for an Academy Award. But who will win? Will there be any upsets? Some of the races are very close. The best actress category is the biggest undecided. Below are my predictions. This year I found myself agreeing a lot with the favorites. I’ve included who I think will win, and who I want to win. I can’t wait to watch it all unfold.
