Couple predictions here. This year is murky as hell for me and I haven't had the time to pay as much attention to the various awards blogs. Kind of had to do wild guesses on some of the categories, definately not taking it as seriously as I have in the past. Hope to be back with it when it's time to pick winners.

Best Picture [Ranked]

1. Boyhood

2. Birdman

3. The Imitation Game

4. The Grand Budapest Hotel

5. The Theory of Everything

6. Selma
7. Nightcrawler

8. American Sniper

9. Whiplash

10. Gone Girl
(though I'm suspecting there will only be nine nominees)

(The last five or so are pretty hard to read. In my heart a lot of them don't really feel like Oscar films, but they seems to have a lot of guild support. American Sniper is particularly hard to call because I haven't had a chance to see it. Selma is also an enigma, I've been told that The Academy got screeners even though some of the other awards bodies didn't... or maybe there really just isn't support for it. Then there's Into the Woods... is it just wishful thinking that it will be ignored?)

Best Director
Richard Linklater
Alejandro Inaritu
Ava DuVernay
Wes Anderson
Morten Tyldum

(The Academy director's branch tends to skew higher brow than the DGA, but if The Imitation Game is as popular with the Academy as I think it is I can't really see Tyldum missing. I wouldn't be to shocked if there's a surprise nomination here from a more respected auteur. Maybe it's DuVernay I'm overestimating...)

Best Actor
Eddie Redmayne

Michael Keaton

Jake Gyllenhaal

Benedict Cumberbatch

Bradley Cooper

(The first four seem more or less locked, last slot could go to a lot of things so I'm going with the one I haven't seen and could be a blind spot)

Best Actress
Julianne Moore
Rosamund Pike
Felicity Jones
Amy Adams
Reese Witherspoon

(Did anyone actually see Cake? I haven't even seen a trailer for it and frankly don't even know what it is. I'm thinking the voters might not have bothered watching it. The Oscars have less pressure to add celebrities to their telecast than some other awards bodies do.)

Best Supporting Actor
J.K. Simmons
Edward Norton
Ethan Hawke
Mark Ruffalo
Steve Carrell

(I don't want to entertain the notion of Robert Duvall getting in for The Judge, so I'm instead rolling the dice of a category swap for Carrell. Might be a mistake)

Best Supporting Actress
Patricia Arquette
Keira Knightley
Meryl Streep
Emma Stone
Jessica Chastain

(Taking a risk on Chastain getting in even though I think A Most Violent Year will otherwise be ignored, can't really think of another viable option)

Best Original Screenplay
Boyhood
Birdman
The Grand Budapest Hotel
Nightcrawler
Selma

(This category is way more crowded than it usually is)

Best Adapted Screenplay
The Imitation Game
The Theory of Everything
Whiplash
Gone Girl

(This category is less crowded than it usually is. If Inherent Vice shows up anywhere it will be here)

It's actually a joke that this movie is getting any kind of recognition.

Guy on Reddit:

"American Sniper is the same movie as the Nazi propaganda film in Inglorious Basterds."

YIKES.

Although, call me optimistic, but I think people on the Internet are exaggerating. No offense, iverdawg. This just feels like Zero Dark Thirty all over again.
