Oscar Predictions

These are my predictions to who/what I think will win at the Academy Awards this year. Now I've come to realize that over the years it is better to predict who I think will win instead of what I WANT to win. The way I'll be doing this is by listing off the nominees for the category in order of who I think will win. Top person/movie listed being who I think will win, bottom being the least likely to win. I'm not going to do all the categories just the ones I follow the most. So let's get started.
