NFL Oscars 2020 Pro football version of

The 2019 NFL season will conclude with Super Bowl LIV on Sunday, and the 2019 movie season will conclude with the Academy Awards the following Sunday.So what better way to celebrate both culminations than by linking them together?That's right: It's time for the NFL Oscars!From Best Picture to Best Costume Design, we've taken more than a dozen Devontae Cacok Jersey accolades familiar to the Academy Awards and applied them to some of the top players, teams and moments of this NFL season. Just like at the real Oscars, the most succe sful or talked-about performances often got the most hardware. Are we good judges of this year's talent? That's up to you to decide.Without further ado, we present the 2020 Oscars, NFL edition:Best PictureWinner: We don't yet know if the Chiefs will win it all, and their Super Bowl LIV opponent also got plenty of votes for this prestigious honor, but they're such a beautiful package. Not only did K.C. deliver some of the postseason's best plot twists, overcoming big deficits in back-to-back games while redeeming a 2018 AFC title-game defeat, but the Chiefs also have some of the NFL's most electrifying characters (whose speed and acrobatic skill make them a joy to watch), as well as a legend of the game in coach Andy Reid. It's hard not to root for their fun, historic ride to end with the glory of a trophy. Best DirectorWinner: Kyle Shanahan, forJohn Harbaugh was a popular pick among some Academy voters for his electrifying visual-effects spectacle , but gritty, old-fashioned trench warfare can never be denied, and that's what Shanahan crafted so beautifully. His production wowed during moments of both high triumph and serious adversity, finding ways to win over audiences with every subsequent viewing.Best ActorWinner: , in fans will cry "Snub!" But so often Best JaVale McGee Jersey Actor is linked to one of the best stories of the year, and Mahomes certainly had a huge hand in making his more durable than Jackson's . And that's not even mentioning his acting! When have we seen someone with such instincts, such flair, such a knack for improbable, unexpected artistry? He was brilliant.Best Supporting ActorWinner: , in No one does more brilliant dirty work than this guy. The 49ers are a pristine story for a lot of reasons, including their direction (Shanahan), their deep ground game and historic defense. But so, so many of their wide-open holes come courtesy of the Pro Bowl fullback, who does his best to make an outdated role look relevant as ever. Without Juszczyk, the Niners' stars wouldn't be as bright. Best Original ScreenplayWinner: , forBest screenplay should go to the team that runs screen plays the best. Who caught screens -- and threatened to do something dangerous with Wesley Matthews Jersey them -- better and more often than the Panthers' star running back? No word on whether Matt Rhule, hired to direct the sequel after Carolina's "creative differences" with Ron Rivera, has a new direction in mind for the story.Best Adapted ScreenplayWinner: , forThe Academy debated long and hard whether to disqualify this production, originally filmed under the working title as part of a documentary series. In the end, it decided that since the Patriots confe sed to skirting rules, it would still recognize how well the production crew adapted Bengals sideline signals directly into their defensive game plans.Best International FeatureWinner: Maybe the most overlooked of this year's Oscar contenders, is no stranger to Minnesota audiences, which have witne sed the Jamaican-born pa s rusher's dominance for years. The 25-year-old is already the top international player in the busine s, becoming the youngest to reach 50 career sacks during his triumphant 2019 performance, his third with at least 12.5 sacks in four years. Best Original ScoreWinner: Kansas City Chiefs, forThe Baltimore Ravens got plenty of critical love for their September hit , costarring the as the Ravens' punching bag, but resonated much deeper, not only because it showcased Patrick Mahomes as the front-runner for Best Actor but because it told a much more important story -- of the Chiefs overcoming a 24-0 hole to journey toward the Super Bowl.Best Original SongWinner: Nate Burleson, forIt dropped early in the fall, but it still hits hard. Who else spit better, more coherent lyrics in 2019? Best Production DesignWinner: They didn't quite deliver the story to match their talent, but you couldn't have asked for a much better Dion Waiters Jersey a sembly, from the aesthetics of their main Superdome setting to the world-cla s ensemble cast of characters -- from big-name stars like and to supporting gems like . Their pieces were so enviable. They just didn't have the direction they needed. Best Makeup and Hair StylingWinner: , for Jr. may have been a lock before shredding his golden locks, and had a decent amount of indie support for his unmatched beard, but Mathieu got an understandable bump for his presence on a Best Picture production. His nickname, "The Honey Badger Danny Green Jersey ," is all the more appropriate now that his honey-tinted dreads have gotten the praise they deserve.Best Costume DesignWinner: The NFL's Color Rush uniforms have drawn mixed reviews over the years, but 2019's Thanksgiving Week smash gave us a glimpse at Color Rush at its absolute best. Baltimore's purple contrasted so well with Los Angeles' gold that no one seemed to mind how little of a fight the Rams put up under such a big spotlight. Lamar Jackson streaking down the field in a blur of color? Stunning.Best Visual EffectsWinner: If their story had held up a little longer, the Ravens would've been an easy candidate for Best Picture. But those effects? Boy, oh boy, did they raise the standard for the industry. Lamar Jackson's speed alone was a constant visual treat. Those purple hues were a delight. It's going to be incredible to see what this team produces moving forward. At the very least, we know it'll be fun to look at.
