Oscar Predictions: Can Black Panther Outmuscle Roma?

Below are my picks in the major categories for Sunday's 91st Academy Awards.

Alfonso Cuarón's beloved Roma leads the field with 10 nominations and seems to be the consensus pick for Best Picture. I'm thinking, however, that with Roma assuredly taking Best Foreign Language Film, Black Panther may spring into action and nab the top prize. But I've been wrong before. We shall see Sunday. Enjoy the show.
