Predict the Oscar Winners + Giveaway

Oscar season is upon us! The 94th annual Academy Awards are being held on March 27 celebrating the films of 2021. 

 

One of the most exciting parts of Oscar season is making your predictions of who will win. Though you may not have watched all the nominees, it can still be fun to see if your favourites take home the big prize or go home empty handed. 

 

Some of our family’s favourites this year are nominated in the Animated Feature category. The kids (and I) really enjoyed Encanto (on Disney+) and The Mitchell’s vs. The Machines (on Netflix). If you’re more in the mood for a broad crowd pleaser you could check out King Richard, West Side Story (on Disney+), or CODA (a hidden gem on Apple TV according to my husband).

 

For a little extra fun in our Modern Mama community I thought we could share our predictions on a few of the Oscar categories. Activate your movie minds and share your best guesses on who will be the Oscar winners during the March 27th ceremony in the comments. Below you will find the nominations list for the 6 awards categories we will focus on. One of you with the highest score will win a $20 gift card to Walmart (maybe for some movie treats with the family).
