Oscars 2017 predictions: Will Moonlight do a Spotlight and upset La La Land?

Awards season in the film industry reaches its climax this Sunday, 26 February with the 89th Academy Awards at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, California.

The Oscar nominations for 2017, thankfully, don't lack diversity. Many black actors and actresses, and even a certain director, are expected to take home big prizes. Who knows, maybe a movie with a black director and a black cast will even win the biggest prize of the night.

Competition is a wonderful thing, and we'll just see how many of those record-equalling 14 nominations La La Land can convert into trophies. Last year it was Spotlight that clinched an unexpected victory over The Revenant. Will the same be happening this year?

This year's host is late night comedian Jimmy Kimmel – a welcome change from last years host, Chris Rock, who was underwhelming. In a year of Trump, Trump and more Trump, there is expected to be Trump-bashing in equal parts from the hosts and the various acceptance speeches.

But awards will still remain the biggest takeaway, rather literally, on the night, so let's get right on to predicting who's going to win.
