As we know the Academy has a habit of choosing the wrong winner – and the International Film Group has spoken. From the nominees in seven of the key categories we took the chance to give our verdict.
Best Foreign Language Film:
Temporary Winner: Roma
Official Winners:
We have a two-way tie. Roma now shares the award with Cold War.
Best Supporting Actress:
Temporary Winner: Regina King for If Beale Street Could Talk
Official Winner:
Regina needs to buy an ornament for the empty space on her mantelpiece now she has had to give the Oscar to Rachel Weisz for The Favourite.
Best Supporting Actor:
Temporary Winner: Mahershala Ali for Green Book

Mahershala now only has one third of that Oscar as he has to share it with Adam Driver for BlackKklansman and Sam Rockwell for Vice.

We have decided to let Olivia keep her Oscar.

Rami, too, can keep his Oscar. This was the only category where all of the IFG voters were in agreement!

IFG has voted Bohemian Rhapsody the official winner of the Best picture Oscar 2019.
