Hi. My name is Aly, and I love watching award shows. The Oscars are no exception – spending a Sunday night in February on the couch with a blanket is my favorite Oscars tradition.

This year, I’m extra excited for the Oscars, since one of my favorite artists, Billie Eilish will be performing at the event. After sweeping at the Grammys, she’s growing in popularity and demand.

Below are my predictions for this year’s awards – next week, Ally Finkbeiner will be posting her Oscar predictions as well.
