Next Monday, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences will announce their nominations for the 92nd annual Academy Awards. Due to a shorten season, this is the quickest turn around for nominations in quite some time. So, in a Chasing the Gold exclusive, I am putting my name on the line and giving my final Oscar Predictions for the season. Some might be right on the nose while others might be out of left field. Regardless, it will be interesting to see how these selections below play with the nominations on Monday morning.
