I always add in who I'd like to see win, as they are usually completely different.
I saw all of the 9 Best Picture films this year and you can read about that here.
Actor In A Leading Role
Who Will Win: Joaquin Phoenix, Joker
Who Will Win: Joaquin Phoenix, Joker
It is a great performance, simple as that.
Who Should Win: Adam Driver, Marriage Story
I have not seen The Two Popes or Pain and Glory, but I thought Adam Driver was fabulous. I loved Leo too, if he hadn't won previously he'd edge Driver out in my estimations. I do love that Banderas got a nom, his early stuff was fucking amazing and groundbreaking. A lot of people only know him for his crappy action films but his early foreign film and indie film work is something to be seen.
Actor In A Supporting Role
Who Will Win: Brad Pitt, Once Upon A Time in Hollywood
Whilst he jokes that he was really just playing himself, Pitt still shone in this role and since Fight Club he has been making such fabulous character choices, the golden boy is his and deservedly so.

Actress In A Leading Role
Who Will Win: Renee Zellweger, Judy
A remarkable performance in a very unremarkable film. 10 minutes in I knew she would win.
Who Should Win: Renee Zellweger, Judy
Yes I would also love to see Johansson win, but Zellweger had me at hello!
Actress In A Supporting Role
Who Will Win: Laura Dern, Marriage Story
And deservedly so, she steals every scene she is in. A solid actress who has been great since her first nomination all those years ago for Ramblin' Rose. But her renaissance of late has been spectacular.
Who Should Win: Laura Dern, Marriage Story
But I do have a soft spot for Johansson in Jojo Rabbit.

Who Will Win: Toy Story 4
Total refresh of a beloved franchise, thanks mostly to Tony Hale's Forky.
Who Should Win: Have not seen enough to comment, so N/A
Cinematography
Who Will Win: 1917
This usually goes hand in hand with Best Picture and the one shot was spectacular, given all the action.

Documentary Feature
Who Will Win: American Factory
I don't know or have seen any of these films. I did my usual research from the usual critics I respect and they ALL say this is the one. It is backed my Barack and Michelle Obama, so that should give it the edge...I think!

Documentary Short Subject
Who Will Win: Learning to skateboard in a warzone
Again, purely from research but it sounds like something the Academy would vote from.

Who Will Win: Parasite

Makeup and Hairstyling
Who Will Win: Bombshell
This seems to be the hotshot all round, making the girls in the roles look like their real life counterparts.

Who Should Win: Judy
I really thought turning Zellweger into an older Judy (though they are probably roughly the same age) was remarkable.

I do remember how much the soundtrack added to the intensity of the film.

Best Picture
Who Will Win: 1917
It is the kind of film that wins. Parasite seems to be the one that could take it away and as good as that was I loved others better.

QT has won twice already but this is a great story, so would be great to see him win again.
