With all the awards bodies winding down, this is turning into one of the more predictable Oscar ceremonies.  Joaquin Pheonix, Renee Zellweger, Brad Pitt and Laura Dern are all expected to win in their respective categories. However, the only major category I’m not ready to call it a day on is Best Director. Yes, Mendes just won, but you can’t deny the Bong Joon-ho factor. The guy has practically become an overnight sensation in Tinseltown. Jeffrey Wells over at Hollywood-Elsewhere agrees with me, but calls the potential of Bong winning a “sympathy vote.” I don’t see it that way at all. Bong winning Best Director would be because the masses actually love “Parasite.” Contribute Hire me
