Hey everyone!
I know that last year I missed my Oscar predictions, but this time I am not planning to miss the show, especially because they have got some really good entries this year. And this year, we have the amazing Neil Patrick Harris hosting the show, and we have got some amazing nominees such as Boyhood, Whiplash, Theory of Everything, Interstellar, and so on. Though I am disappointed about Jennifer Aniston not being nominated, and for not seeing Gone Girl in any other list (it would have won for screenplay, hands down!), I must admit that there were movies that literally grabbed my heart and played with it.
Long story cut short, here is the list of those who I think will be the winners of the year. (P.S. When the winners are announced, the blog will updated likewise)
