Though it may make it a little more hard to fill out your own Oscar prediction sheet, it should make for more pleasant surprises in future nominations and, potentially, even in this year's winners.
His return to the stage comes after the infamous Best Picture mix-up from last year's awards ceremony, when Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway declared La La Land the Best Picture victor when really it was Moonlight.
Organizers for the 2018 Oscars are probably crossing their fingers that nothing like last year's best picture mix-up happens this time around.
Jimmy Kimmel will return to host the Oscars for the second year in a row, and the event will be featured on ABC. All of the nominees displayed awesome performances, and each one could rightfully win the Oscar.
If 88-year-old Christopher Plummer wins best supporting actor for "All the Money in the World", he'd set a new record as the oldest person to win an Oscar for acting.
Kirk Cousins free agency rumors: Broncos intend to go 'all-in' on QB
Anderson eclipsed 1,000 yards for the first time in his career in 2017, serving as a shining light in a dark season. Furthermore, Thomas and Sanders are as solid a duo as there is in the league with the right player under center.
Warner and Smith keep Aussies in hunt
Then Marsh defended an innocuous ball accounting for turn, but it held its line and took his outside edge to the same position. But there is plenty yet to do. "Kingsmead ( Durban ) is a wicket where if you stop the scoring something will happen".
James Harden Steals Wesley Johnson's Soul With Epic Ankle-Breaker
As Johnson recovered a full 10 feet in front of Harden with 15 seconds left on the shot clock, the Houston Rockets' guard paused. Now, most players would gather and shoot knowing that they're about to go viral and make the highlights for the night.
"Get Out" could win Best Picture.
"I think it's got as strong of a chance as any of the other [underdog] contenders if not more so", says Tom Nunan, who was executive producer on "Crash", the 2005 film that pulled off a major upset of its own on Oscar night against "Brokeback Mountain". Ivory, the Oscar-nominated screenwriter and co-producer of the bittersweet love story Call Me by Your Name, would become the oldest victor if he wins and Varda does not.
And Timothée Chalamet, who's nominated for "Call Me by Your Name" could become the youngest best-actor victor. The record is now held by Adrien Brody, who was 29 when he took home the statue for Roman Polanski's Holocaust movie The Pianist in 2003.
In this season of hashtag-driven activism, of cultural shift and hyper-awareness, of #OscarsSoWhite and #MeToo, the 90th Academy Awards feel particularly important. She's nominated for "Mudbound". Morrison is the first woman ever to be nominated in this category. Greta Gerwig is the first woman to receive a directing nomination for her directorial debut (Lady Bird). Rather inconceivably, only five female directors have ever been nominated in this category, and only one has won it (Kathryn Bigelow, for The Hurt Locker in 2010).
Winding up their runs Thursday are "Get Out", four nominations including Best Actor (Daniel Kaluuya) and Best Director (Jordan Peele); "Darkest Hour", six nominations including Best Actor (Gary Oldman) and Cinematography (Bruno Delchannel); and "Call Me By Your Name", three nominations including Best Actor (Timothee Chalamet).
