The Variety Awards Circuit section is your home for all awards news and related content throughout the year, featuring official predictions for upcoming Oscars, Emmys, Grammys and Tony Awards ceremonies, curated by Variety Awards Editor-in-Chief Clayton Davis. The predictions page reflects the current standings of the race and does not reflect the personal preferences of individual candidates. As other official (and unofficial) polls suggest, the race is fluid and subject to change depending on topics and events. Forecasts are updated every Thursday.
