2021 Oscars Predictions
Welcome back to HLS Entertainment! Today we are going through the Oscars categories one by one to project who will win each while we are going to be skipping the shorts and documentary categories. Zero disrespect to the artist involved in making the documentaries and short films.
This blog doubles as an #HLSBets blog as well because certain bookmakers will have Academy Awards betting, not all but some do. So in that vein of thinking, this blog is about who we THINK will will not who we WANT to win. Does not mean we do not want some of these outcomes but you can clearly see some discrepancies with these choices and HLS Movie Award nominees. Because HLS Movie Awards has no behind the scenes game at play to jockey for votes, BUT this is a call out to movies nominated you can definitely influence our voting with gifts and it is not too late to do so the HLS Movie Awards is this Friday April 16th!
Enough joking around this is a serious thing. The Academy Award is the most prestigious award a film can win. On to the awards!
