Our predictions of who will win at the 2018 Oscars on Sunday night - and who really should win

The 90th Academy Awards will finally be here on Sunday, after months of campaigning (and millions of dollars spent) by studios and independent distributors to get their best and brightest recognition.

On paper, it could turn out to be a dull night. A few categories (like best actor and best supporting actress) seem to be a lock for specific actors. And the odds-on favorites to win best picture - "The Shape of Water" and "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri" - haven't been that popular with general audiences. Both movies' combined domestic box office ($105 million) is around what "Wonder Woman" had its opening weekend.

But if we learned anything from last year's Oscars, you never know what kind of surprises could come. And the best-picture race is one of the most wide open in recent years.

Here are our predictions on who we think will win the major categories and who we think should win.

The Academy Awards air on ABC on Sunday at 8 p.m. EST/ 5 p.m. PST.
