Now it's time for some guessing game. IGN predicts that the Best Picture winner will be too close to call between "Birdman" and "Boyhood." But the resounding votes from media outlets go to Alejandro González Iñárritu's film, which is also forecasted to score the Cinematography award. Who will win the coveted award for the Best Actor in a Leading Role? Signs point to Eddie Redmayne for his stellar performance as Stephen Hawking in "The Theory of Everything." However, Michael Keaton, again from "Birdman" might just snag that one from him. Speaking of which, "The Theory of Everything" may also snatch the win for Original Score.
Meanwhile, "Still Alice" lead Julianne Moore makes the loudest noise in the Actress in a Leading Role category. Actor in Supporting Role is just for J.K. Simmons to own. Many would be surprised if the "Whiplash" actor didn't get this. The movie the actor is in is also expected to get the Adaptive Screenplay win. For the counterpart, Patricia Arquette from "Boyhood" is eyed as the victor. Who will be the director that will shine in the biggest award show of the season? Many believe its Richard Linklater for his far-reaching work in "Boyhood."
The Best Animated Feature Film award is pitted to go to "How to Train your Dragon 2." Although many are still upset that "The LEGO Movie" did not even make it as a nominee in the category. In the Visual Effects department, "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes" and "Interstellar" will likely go neck to neck. There is only one movie being touted to win the Best Original Screenplay award and that is "The Grand Budapest Hotel." Costume Design and Makeup and Hairstyling look to be in its bag too.
"American Sniper" is predicted to win Sound Editing and Sound Mixing. Best Foreign Language Film should be "Ida" while the Documentary Feature to steal the night should be "Citizen Four." For Documentary Short, Animated Short and Live Action Short, titles bounced around are "Joanna," "The Dam Keeper," and "Parvaneh," respectively.
