So put on your critic hat because this week we are going to challenge you to watch these critically acclaimed films and let you decide if they deserve to take home the gold man.

Best picture Prediction: “Nomadland”

“Nomadland” has been a frontrunner all awards season long, and it remains in first place in Round 3, with the panel expecting it to continue its winning ways Oscar night. However, “Minari” and “The Trial of the Chicago 7″ have significantly closed the gap, possibly indicating a closer race for best picture than previously thought.

Lead Actress Prediction: Carey Mulligan, “Promising Young Woman”

Carey Mulligan holds at No. 1, with Viola Davis creating some distance between herself and Frances McDormand for 2nd. As expected, Vanessa Kirby and singer Andra Day complete the field, matching the SAG noms (the BuzzMeter had all five called as well).

Lead Actor Prediction: Chadwick Boseman, “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom”

The late Chadwick Boseman‘s leave-it-on-the-field performance has him as one of only two consensus picks in the entire Round 3 of the BuzzMeter.

Boseman has ruled the awards circuit, winning everywhere. He’s the runaway favorite for the Oscar, with only Riz Ahmed in earshot. Anthony Hopkins, Gary Oldman and Steven Yeun complete the field. Yeun is the first of Korean descent to get a lead-actor Oscar nomination (1956 winner Yul Brynner, of partial Tartar descent and a naturalized American citizen at the time, is the only other Asian-American nominee thus far).
