After a year of virtual film festivals, shuttered theaters, and Covid-delays, it’s finally time for Hollywood to crown the best movies of 2020(ish) via handing out Academy Awards at the 93rd Oscars. On Sunday at 5 pm, Steven Soderbergh will produce a real live actual in-person awards ceremony in Los Angeles (and maybe a few satellite locations for those unable to cross the pond and quarantine). Below, we prognosticate on who will win the major awards and opine on who would get our votes if we were magically granted membership in the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences.

SIFF 2021: That’s a Wrap
We’ve had a very busy eleven days covering this year’s first-ever virtual Seattle International Film Festival with roundtables and reviews of the bounty of cinema brought to our homes by technology and the tireless programmers and organizers. On Sunday night SIFF handed out awards and closed the festival with Catalan dramedy Rosa’s Wedding. Since then, the SunBreak’s SIFF Squad virtually assembled to chat about our experience with this year’s event and to rehash some of our festival favorites.
