Have we ever had such a headscratcher of an Oscar race? There are so many variables this year that I might as well pull my predictions out of a hat in some categories. I usually do very well with my final predictions but I'm sure this year will be different. It's gonna be one hell of an Oscar ceremony. Here's how I see it all going down:

I think you nailed it. I'm right with you on most of these. I'm feeling The Imitation Game on Adapted Screenplay, but otherwise we're together. I also really hope The Phone Call doesn't win short film. I saw them all the other day, and it is definitely not the best. Parvaneh was my favorite.
ReplyDeleteYeh, TIG is probably the smart choice in Adapted but that category is so wide open that anything could happen.
DeleteHope you're right about the Boyhood wins. Good luck!
