Oscars Prediction 2020
By - Richard - 7th February 2020
The Swift Films Oscars prediction has become an annual event.
In 2017, we were spectacularly wrong in predicting that La La Land was going to win the most Oscars of all time. It didn’t even win Best Picture (although for a brief moment it appeared like it had)…
This year, we’re feeling more confident with our 2020 predictions, but I wouldn’t place money based on these predictions…
1917 will be the big winner on the night with six Oscars including Best Picture and Best Director.
