AceShowbiz - "Parasite" will win the Best Picture prize at the Oscars on Sunday, February 09 if users of movie website Fandango have their way.
Over 2,000 moviegoers, who use the site to check out trailers and interviews and book film tickets, took part in Fandango's Oscars poll and declared "Parasite" the movie of the year, narrowly beating out "1917", while "Joker", "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" and "Little Women (2019)" complete the top five with 10 per cent or more of the vote.
They also picked "Parasite" helmer Bong Joon-ho as Best Director, ahead of Sam Mendes and Quentin Tarantino.
Fandango users are also expecting a few upsets in the acting categories, handing the Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress honours to "Little Women (2019)" co-stars Saoirse Ronan and Florence Pugh. Most Oscars experts predict Renee Zellweger and Laura Dern will win these awards for their roles in "Judy" and "Marriage Story".
And the Fandango voters went with the majority regarding the Best Actor and Supporting Actor categories, picking "Joker" lead Joaquin Phoenix and "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" star Brad Pitt.
