Oscar Predictions

With the Oscars coming up very soon, and with it being the final award show of the season, our Oscar predictions are in. This year has been a strange year and has one of the weakest best picture line ups in awhile. But, it has one of the most heated Best Picture battles. It's down to Boyhood and Birdman. With both winning many awards this season it is a toss up between the two.

This has also been one of the few years where 3 of the acting awards are dead locks. Both supporting categories and Best Actress have been definite locks across every award show this season. These are my Oscar predictions:
