BEST PRODUCTION DESIGN
Who Should Win: Scarlet
Who Will Win: Tinseltown
No Chance: The Last of the Mohicans
Thought(s): Really, this one could go almost any way, but the one film I cannot picture winning is The Last of the Mohicans.
BEST SOUNDTRACK
Who Should Win: The Punisher: Last Exit
Who Will Win: The Punisher: Last Exit
No Chance: The Driftwood Populace
Thought(s): Dwight Gallo's first Punisher film took this award back in Season 19 and I would put my money on the sequel doing the same here.
MOST WANTED SEQUEL
Who Should Win: The Punisher: Last Exit
Who Will Win: Carte Blanche
No Chance: The Fall Guy: Trouble in Tahiti / The Hammer of Thor
Thought(s): This category feels like a duel between The Punisher: Last Exit and Carte Blanche. Ultimately I would rather see a third Punisher film, but Carte Blanche was such a juggernaut that I think it will win.
BEST ENSEMBLE CAST
Who Should Win: The Long Way Home
Who Will Win: Tinseltown
No Chance: The Driftwood Populace
Thought(s): I think Tinseltown will win because of its flashy characters (even if there is some iffy casting), but The Long Way Home should win because it nailed every role cast-wise. The Driftwood Populace may have a big, famous ensemble cast, but not a ton of memorable characters to me.
BEST STARRING COUPLE
Who Should Win: Kyle Chandler & Tom Hanks - Revival
Who Will Win: Kyle Chandler & Tom Hanks - Revival
No Chance: Katherine Langford & Evan Peters - Skin
Thought(s): Chandler and Hanks are both not locks in their individual categories, so I think they have a good chance together.
BEST VILLAIN
Who Should Win: Toby Wallace - Batgirl
Who Will Win: Toby Wallace - Batgirl
No Chance: Toby Kebbell - We Know Where You Live
Thought(s): Recent DC Comics Universe films have struggled a bit in the villain department, but Wallace is one of the universe's most memorable villains so I think he is the favorite even up against big names like Del Toro.
BEST ADAPTATION
Who Should Win: Revival
Who Will Win: Revival
No Chance: Batgirl
Thought(s): Revival is not an easy book to adapt, so I think the fact that Chad Taylor managed to make a really good - and coherent - film out of it means that he should win here.
BEST ORIGINAL STORY
Who Should Win: Believe It or Not!
Who Will Win: Believe It or Not!
No Chance: Collapse / Tinseltown
Thought(s): Believe It or Not! should, and probably will, win. It's only real competition in my mind is The Long Way Home. Collapse and Tinseltown are both decent films, but I can't see either competing with the two better (and better reviewed) films here.
BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS
Who Should Win: Sally Field - Collapse
Who Will Win: Helen Mirren - The Driftwood Populace
No Chance: N/A
Thought(s): This one could go any way with no real favorite. Mirren's the biggest name, which is way I think she'll win.
BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR
Who Should Win: Tom Hanks - Revival
Who Will Win: Tom Hanks - Revival
No Chance: Jonny Lee Miller - The Sandman: Season of Mists
Thought(s): Hanks gave one of his best performances in Revival, so I think he will win pretty handily, but it's not a lock as I could see Abdul-Mateen II being competitive here.
BEST ACTRESS
Who Should Win: Emma Stone - The Long Way Home
Who Will Win: Emma Stone - The Long Way Home
No Chance: N/A
Thought(s): Similar to the Best Supporting Actress category, I don't think there is anything close to a favorite here. Stone is a big name and gave a good performance in a late season film so I think she might have a slight edge over the others, but it isn't much.
BEST ACTOR
Who Should Win: Mel Gibson - The Punisher: Last Exit
Who Will Win: Kyle Chandler - Revival
No Chance: Ryan Gosling - Collapse
Thought(s): I was surprised that Ryan Gosling beat out Dan Stevens and Andrew Garfield for a nomination here, so I don't think he's going to win. If I had to put money on it, I think Kyle Chandler will win, but I'd rather the trophy go to Mel Gibson or even Seth MacFarlane.
BEST DIRECTOR
Who Should Win: Frank Darabont - Revival
Who Will Win: Denis Villeneuve - Carte Blanche
No Chance: Sam Mendes - Tinseltown
Thought(s): Villenueve is the most talented director of the bunch, so I think that could put him over the top and secure a win. I'd rather Darabont get some love. The only nominee I can't see winning here is Sam Mendes because Tinseltown simply isn't as good as the other films represented here.
BEST PICTURE
Who Should Win: Carte Blanche
Who Will Win: Revival
No Chance: Believe It or Not!
Thought(s): Any of the four could realistically win here, which is pretty rare. Though with the lowest Metascore, Believe It or Not! probably has the slimmest chances. It'll probably be a tight race between Revival and Carte Blanche.
