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!

Erosion, rising tides and unstable bluffs are reshaping San Clemente’s iconic coastline — and officials are testing new ways to protect the beach, rail line and nearby infrastructure. The city is using a combination of sand, rock, plants, reinforcement and new walls to fight the impacts. The Orange County Transportation Authority has also built a catchment wall to help keep landslide debris off the coastal rail tracks. And there’s a Coachella Valley connection: San Clemente City Manager Andy Hall previously served as Cathedral City’s city manager. With sea levels rising and extreme tidal events putting more pressure on California’s coast, officials say the work in San Clemente could help other coastal communities prepare for what’s ahead.
