Full article : https://www.goldderby.com/article/2018/star-is-born-lady-gaga-news-1202629792/ [OMG, I can’t believe I’m predicting ‘A Star Is Born’ will win the Best Picture Oscar! ] Tom O'Neil /September 11, 2018 9:11PM I’m shocked — and not a little bit embarrassed — to admit that I’m (currently at least) predicting “A Star Is Born” will win Best Picture at the Oscars. Oh, yeah, even more: Lady Gaga will bag Best Actress. I’ve got Bradley Cooperin second place for Best Actor (behind Rami Malek in “Bohemian Rhapsody,” which nobody’s seen yet) and, frankly, I might rank him higher if it didn’t look suspicious – like I’m too much of a Gaga-style, bubble gum-snapping fan of the film that I’ve now seen it at the Toronto Film Festival. As a professional Oscar pundit, I must openly scold myself: Have I gone truly, well, gaga? As all respectable Oscar pundits know: Academy voters have not been kind to past versions of “A Star Is Born,” even when they were masterpieces like that Judy Garland gem (1954). Maybe that was just due to the old hex against movies about Hollywood never winning Best Picture at Tinsel Town’s top awards show, but then “The Artist” (2011) finally broke that curse, Over the past week since I’ve been seeing so many top Best Picture contenders in Toronto, I’ve been moving my predictions around like crazy. For a while I put “First Man” on top because it’s great, just like you knew it would be, and those rascally Oscar voters do owe director Damien Chazelle a Best Picture trophy, let’s be honest. Then I put “ROMA” in the lead because it’s also wonderful, just like you knew it would be, and it’s Alfonso Cuaron‘s latest art-house bonbon that may be irresistible to those academy snobs.But none of the aforementioned alternatives whips up so much passion in viewers as “A Star Is Born.” Passion is what usually drives Best Picture victories on Oscar night. “Moonlight” had that last year. But, wait, so did “La La Land,” remember? Maybe I should consider moving my Best Picture picks around again? “Black Panther,” which could gain mojo in the top Oscar race if given a push by those film critics’ groups. That could happen the same way critics’ groups got behind “Mad Max: Fury Road”, pushing it close to Best Picture. This year there could special affinity for a blockbuster now that the Oscars just dropped that Best Popular Picture category. A few years ago one of the top Oscar consultants admitted to me that her movie did not deserve to win Best Picture, so I asked her: “Why did it win?” “Everybody wants to be on the winning team,” she replied. We Oscar-watchers have not yet seen support coalesce around a few firm, final frontrunners. Stay tuned. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Let me introduce this man,Tom O'Neil ,for you: 1.He's the founder and editor of awards site GoldDerby.com and is the author of "Movie Awards," "The Emmys" and "The Grammys". 2.A founder? so what?

It's only awarded to producers, which Bradley is one. It'd still be amazing for Gaga to star in a Best-Picture-winning movie in her first major movie. They did however mention that Gaga is bagging Best Actress. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did, but they also accurately predict many nominations and wins over the past few years. They're not perfect, but they're a good indication. For example they predicted See You Again from Furious 7 as the number one choice to be nominated for Best Original Song, but that wasn't even nominated. But still they have many accurate predictions.
