The Breakdown:
The Best Picture category is a funny one. Up until very recently, it had always been pretty predictable. Oscar-baiting is very much a thing, after all. But in the past few years, the tide has begun to turn.
First there was that Oscar moment in 2017, where the award was initially given to La La Land (predictable Oscar-bait) before it was quickly revealed that that was a mistake, and given to the Black-led, LGBTQ+ film Moonlight instead. The next year, The Shape Of Water surprised everyone after it beat out predicted winner Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri. And, most notably and most importantly, Parasite’s unprecedented win last year completely opened the doors for less predictable (and less white) films to take out the evening’s biggest prize.
