The big night is finally here, and Last Cinema Standing has spent the
last two weeks trying to get you all prepared. It all comes down to this. What’s
it going to be? Birdman or Boyhood? Richard Linklater or Alejandro González
Iñárritu? Eddie Redmayne or Michael Keaton? Will American Sniper pull off a few surprises? Everything remains in
flux until the envelopes are opened.
For now, here are Last Cinema Standing’s Totally Accurate, 100 Percent
Guaranteed Academy Awards Predictions*. Click on any category to jump to a full
breakdown of that categories nominees and check back after the show to see me
return with my tail between my legs and admit just how many of these I got
flat-out wrong.

not break down in my Countdown to the Oscars previews because I have only seen
two of the five nominees. Perhaps those of you with children can let me know
what you thought of the rest – or those of you who just really enjoy animation.
No judgments here at Last Cinema Standing.
