For best original song, “Lift Me Up” by Rihanna should win. Not only did this song bring her back into the Spotlight of music, but there is a very meaningful message behind this song. This song was created for the film's soundtrack and was honoring the loss of Chadwick Boseman. People freaked out about this song before the movie even came out. Rihanna has been gone for about six years and for her to win an Oscar for this song would be amazing.
For best supporting actress, Angela Bassett deserves the spot. She not only gave Queen Ramonda a very in-depth character build but she poured her heart out whenever she played this character. It is very clear that she was very close to Chadwick Boseman, so for her to have this very monumental loss in her life she could be very down to earth with this character who just lost her son. She played the queen so well, and you could hear the power in her voice whenever she spoke. Even in the trailer when she says “I am the queen of the most powerful nation in the world, and my entire family is gone,” it just felt powerful.

One night, when Tom Parker meets with Elvis at the carnival and persuades him to let him take control of his career, beginning a meteoric ascent that sees the Presley family lifted out of poverty.
For best actor, Austin Butler deserves it without a doubt. He put so much time and effort into building his character for Elvis. Everything he did in this movie was so similar to Elvis. He would study everything that Elvis has ever done and would put that into his character. He played it so well.

For best-animated picture, “Puss in Boots: The Last Wish” gets the Owlie.

This movie is one of the best from the Shrek storyline.
