And the Oscar goes to...

This post is something that I had thought of doing a little while ago, however due to an increase in workload the past week, I haven't gotten to it, until now. I love watching the Academy Awards, I think it is an absolute highlight of the year. This year, How I Met Your Mother star, Neil Patrick Harris is hosting the 87th Academy Awards and I think its going to be really fun. Below are the different categories to which awards will be going to (some of them anyway) and my predictions. To be honest, I don't really know why I chose some of them. Lets just say, it was a gut feeling.

Best Picture:

The nominees are (from the top left):

1. The Imitation Game

2. Boyhood

3. American Sniper

4. Birdman

5. Selma

6. Whiplash 

7. The Grand Budapest Hotel

8. The Theory of Everything 

Prediction: Boyhood!!! This movie is so exceptional. It is a movie filmed over 12 years, following a 5-18 year old boy growing up and living the life of a teenager. They would film a couple of months a year, for twelve years, and the outcome is magnificent. See for yourself.
