Oscars 2021 predictions: Who will win the trophy?

This year Oscars 2021 predictions are different from the previous. The Academy has the opportunity to make history by honouring a diverse group of nominees.

Even a pandemic doesn’t seem to be able to interrupt those traditions. When there are a number of outstanding talented actors, predicting who will win the award is extremely difficult.

The problem is that the nominees themselves show few signs of upheaval. This year’s lineup, for many, is just as crammed with obscure films that the majority of the public hasn’t heard of as it usually is.
