Our predictions of who will win at the 2018 Oscars on Sunday night — and who really should win
The 90th Academy Awards will finally be here on Sunday, after months of campaigning (and millions of dollars spent) by studios and independent distributors to get their best and brightest recognition.
On paper, it could turn out to be a dull night. A few categories (like best actor and best supporting actress) seem to be a lock for specific actors. And the odds-on favorites to win best picture — “The Shape of Water” and “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri” — haven't been that popular with general audiences. Both movies’ combined domestic box office ($105 million) is around what “Wonder Woman” had its opening weekend.
But if we learned anything from last year’s Oscars, you never know what kind of surprises could come. And the best-picture race is one of the most wide open in recent years.
Here are our predictions on who we think will win the major categories and who we think should win.
The Academy Awards air on ABC on Sunday at 8 p.m. EST/ 5 p.m. PST.
Best original score

What will win: “The Shape of Water”
This category has a lot of major talents gunning for the win, but it’s going to be Alexandre Desplat’s hypnotic score for “The Shape of Water” that comes out on top. It's a beautiful companion to the unique love story director Guillermo del Toro weaves.
WHAT SHOULD WIN: "Dunkirk"
Warner Bros. Pictures
It would be great to see Hans Zimmer nab the Oscar, as the stopwatch rhythm of his score for “Dunkirk” is so vital to the movie. If “Dunkirk” does pull off the win it could be a hint to how the night goes, as “The Shape of Water” and “Dunkirk” are up against one another in numerous categories, including best picture.
Best original song
Disney/Pixar
What will win: “Remember Me” (“Coco”)
Honestly, there really is no contest. When Miguel goes to Mama Coco at the end of the movie and sings the song to make her not forget the memory of Hector, it just brings the movie to an incredibly high emotional level.
