AwardsDaily’s Final Oscar Predictions

by Sasha Stone
February 3, 2015
in PREDICTIONS
21
Academy Invites 271 New Members  – Rob Riggle?

It’s all come down to this, my friends. A preferential ballot for all too enabled Academy voters. It’s hard to know  how this thing will go. There are so many conflicting narratives that run through it, so many different types of people voting. The industry throws out brilliant films like Inherent Vice or Selma but that doesn’t mean it will fit in the comfort zone of Oscar voters.

We’ve gone over Best Picture and Best Director, now let’s just ram it all on through, shall we?  My Best Picture predictions match the Awards Daily contest entries so far, and they are…

Best Picture
(In order of contest entries)
1. Boyhood (For the win)
2. Birdman
3. The Grand Budapest Hotel
4. The Imitation Game
5. The Theory of Everything
6. Selma
7. Gone Girl
8. Whiplash
9. American Sniper
10. Nightcrawler
I know it’s a big drama that I’m predicting my two favorites, Gone Girl and Selma, and that they are just as likely to get shut out. But you know what? I looked back at the Guru’s predictions and I found that if you look at individual predictions people get things wrong but the consensus seems to be right. Thus, I trust in that and am going with that.
