Oscars 2023 Predictions in All Categories
Another year, another of my utterly fearless Oscars predictions. As always, it is hard to predict the Academy Awards now celebrating its 95th year. Just when you think one has the momentum, out comes another nominee to steal the thunder. For example, the Best Supporting Actress category. We all felt that Angela Bassett would take home the gold for her fantastic work as Queen Ramonda in “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” and then out of the blue, Jamie Lee Curtis stopped her momentum for her SAG win as the tax auditor in “Everything Everywhere All At Once.” And let’s not even talk about the always-hard-to-predict documentary short and live action short categories.
But I tried. With my trusty crystal ball. We’ll see on March 12th if m predictions are accurate when the Academy Award winners are announced (to see my complains about the Oscars, click here).
For now, here are my predictions in all categories.
Good Luck on your Oscar pool!

As fall approaches, it’s time to start thinking about your annual flu shot. The CDC recommends flu vaccination every season for nearly everyone 6 months and older, and September or October is generally the ideal time for most people to get vaccinated. The 2026-27 flu vaccines have been updated to target the strains expected to circulate this season. There’s also a new option this year: Moderna’s mFLUSIVA, the first FDA-approved mRNA flu vaccine, for adults 50 and older. Talk with your health care provider about which flu vaccine is right for you and make a plan to get vaccinated this fall.
