I'm really hoping Parasite wins best picture. I'm pretty sure 1917 will, and I can't say it would be undeserving, but I feel like we've seen that movie several times already. Parasite was great on so many levels.

Along the same vein, pulling for Bong Joon Ho for best director.

ETA: I know it's unlikely, but I'd also love to see Tom Hanks win best supporting actor. He managed to become Fred Rogers without becoming a caricature of him, IMO.

Hopefully this is the sleeper. But I’m sure the war movie (1917) will win....the old white dudes love war movies.

I actually really liked 1917. I didn't think I would, but I genuinely enjoyed it.

That said, of the best picture noms I saw (about half of them), it's my least favorite.

My actual favorite movie of 2019 was The Farewell, which I maintain was robbed in several categories.

I’m sure it’s good, but how many times can a war movie win an Oscar?

I was also really bummed about The Farewell.
