Best Foreign Language Film
- Capernaum
- Cold War
- Never Look Away
- Shoplifters
- Roma
Roma has this category on lock. There's an outside chance Cold War takes it if voters want to spread the love.
Will win: Roma
Could win: Cold War
Should win: Roma or Shoplifters
Best Original Song
- “When a Cowboy Trades His Spurs for Wings” from The Ballad of Buster Scruggs
- “All the Stars” from Black Panther
- “The Place Where Lost Things Go” from Mary Poppins Returns
- “Shallow” from A Star is Born
- “I'll Fight” from RBG
We're in the shallow now.
Will win: “Shallow” from A Star is Born
Could win: “All the Stars” from Black Panther
Should win: “Shallow” from A Star is Born
Best Sound Mixing
- Black Panther
- Bohemian Rhapsody
- First Man
- Roma
- A Star is Born
Bohemian Rhapsody won the guild and musicals always do well here. This is a slam dunk.
Will win: Bohemian Rhapsody
Could win: A Star is Born
Should win: Roma
Should've been nominated: Hereditary
Best Sound Editing
- Black Panther
- Bohemian Rhapsody
- First Man
- Roma
- A Quiet Place
Bohemian Rhapsody won two awards from the guild while A Quiet Place won one. On the other hand, First Man is a classic winner in this category. Unfortunately, I think Bohemian wins here too.
Will win: Bohemian Rhapsody
Could win: First Man
Should win: A Quiet Place
Should've been nominated: Annihilation
