The Professor
96th Academy Awards - Best Make Up – Maestro
Underpriced and a fair way in front of other contenders to win this category, this should be Maestro’s sole victory on Oscars Sunday.

96th Academy Awards - Best Animated Short – WAR IS OVER!
A clear frontrunner according to Gold Derby pundits, this is an easy tick for voters, with the name recognition of John and Yoko boosting it’s probability of a win
