I'm just hoping Bohemian Rhapsody and The Favourite pick up a shed load of awards.

I also hope that Roma does NOT win best film as it did at the Bafta Awards last month.

I was very surprised at Green Book winning best film @Martin-O2

So were half of the Oscar nominated audience (or so I've read)

@Cleoriff Yes I didn't expect that either. I'm super interested to see the movie now though.
