On this week’s For Your Consideration, Collider’s awards experts Scott Mantz, Perri Nemiroff and Jeff Sneider offer their final 2021 Oscar predictions in all 23 categories. Yes, there are usually 24 categories, but keep in mind that the Academy will combine the two sound awards going forward.
The FYC hosts are in agreement that there is a clear frontrunner for Best Picture this year as well as Best Director, even though Scott can still foresee a scenario in which voters try to spread the love, causing a split. Three of the four acting categories appear to be locked down as well, though there's still debate surrounding Best Actress, which prompts Scott and Jeff to make another bet!
Elsewhere, the short films can make or break any ballot, but the gang seems to come to a consensus regarding all three winners, though as we know, anything can happen when it comes to those categories. There's also some debate swirling around Best Editing (Sound of Metal or Trial of the Chicago 7), Best Cinematography (Nomadland or Mank), and Best Production Design, which could go to Mank, The Father or Ma Rainey's Black Bottom, which seems poised to win Best Costume Design and Best Makeup and Hairstyling.
The final FYC episode of the season will arrive the day after the Oscars so be sure to come back on Monday, April 26 to watch Scott, Perri and Jeff discuss the winners, the surprises, and the Steven Soderbergh-produced ceremony itself.
