Pop Altar’s Totally Shaky 91st Academy Award Predictions
BEST FOREIGN LANGUAGE FILM
“Capernaum” (Lebanon)
“Cold War” (Poland)
“Never Look Away” (Germany)
“Roma” (Mexico)
“Shoplifters” (Japan)
It’s tempting to pick Cold War here, especially if one thinks that the Academy will spread the wealth this year. But nah, it goes to Roma because it has the benefit of word of mouth and momentum. Warning: this could be totally wrong.
