Hopefully Moonlight will win Best Picture, and Natalie Portman or Naomie Harris Best Actress.

La La Land should win the technical awards, like Best Cinematography, and also Best Score.

How many will angrily proclaim how little they care about these awards when something they wanted to win this award they supposedly don't care about does not win?

BTW, someone else can post the live updates of all the winners if you want (something I've done for a few years now). I'm a little sick and might just be watching the show from my bed. Trying to keep up might make me pass out, lol

I predict one big surprise that most did not see coming.
Something like Ruth Negga winning best actress.
I'm rooting for Huppert even thought I am yet to watch Elle

you think in 1953 people were saying stuff like?

"Come on, George. Don't you see. Singing in the Rain is them basically fellating themselves. How is it not going to win a nomination?"

"I don't know Enrique, it don't got Jesus on it , that one. There's two with Jesus on it, and color is just as good in them and everything"

"But no Singing"

La La Land will win but I'm hoping for Arrival.

ACTOR IN A LEADING ROLE
Casey Affleck

ACTRESS IN A LEADING ROLE
I've only seen La La Land but I'm thinking Jackie will win. The academy loves them some period pieces.

ACTOR IN A SUPPORTING ROLE
Mahershala Ali will win and he should but if he doesn't, I hope it goes to Michael Shannon.

ACTRESS IN A SUPPORTING ROLE
Viola Davis will probably win.

ANIMATED FEATURE FILM
Moana will win it but Kubo is a close-second. Either winning would be well deserved.

CINEMATOGRAPHY
Arrival, La La Land and Moonlight were all beautiful. Haven't seen Silence but from the trailer, it also seems very well shot.

COSTUME DESIGN
Jackie will probably win this.
Rogue One got completely snubbed here.

DIRECTING
La La Land will probably win this, too.
None of the films winning would be upsetting, though. They were all well directed.

DOCUMENTARY (FEATURE)
Haven't seen any, so I couldn't say. Based surely on the buzz, it'll probably be 13th or I'm Not Your Negro.

DOCUMENTARY (SHORT SUBJECT)
Haven't seen or heard of any of these.

FILM EDITING
Arrival should win but again, it'll probably be La La Land. Arrival's biggest emotional moment is only effective because of the editing.

FOREIGN LANGUAGE FILM
Haven't seen.

MAKEUP AND HAIRSTYLING
Star Trek should win.
Again, why no Rogue One?

MUSIC (ORIGINAL SCORE)
La La Land cus La La Land.
Arrival should've been nominated.

MUSIC (ORIGINAL SONG)
La La Land cus La La Land.
Moana should win, though.

PRODUCTION DESIGN
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them should win.
Where's my Rogue One doe

SHORT FILM (ANIMATED)
Piper was lovely but I haven't seen the rest.

SHORT FILM (LIVE ACTION)
Haven't seen.

SOUND EDITING
Deepwater Horizon should win it or Hacksaw Ridge.
WHERE'S ROGUE ONE

SOUND MIXING
Rogue One should win it but I'll be La La Land.

VISUAL EFFECTS
Jungle Book will win.
Hoping for Rogue One since it got snubbed real bad in the technical department but this category is stacked with great visual effects. Wouldn't be mad if any of these won.

WRITING (ADAPTED SCREENPLAY)
Hoping for Arrival, with Moonlight and Lion being a close second/third.

WRITING (ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY)
Manchester by the Sea or Hell or High Water. No one read this post.

I like thinking back on last year. Seeing Mad Max get 6 Oscars while Alejandro Inarritu's pretentious ass was fuming, that was such a dope moment.

I finally got to see La La Land and Manchester by the Sea. After seeing both of them, I really would love to see La La win Best Picture (again--of the two I have seen), and Casey Affleck win Best Actor.

I really, really, really wanted to love Manchester but while the acting was perfect, there was something that I felt was missing from the movie that I can't quite figure out.

you wanna know why La La Land is going to win everything, friend Bronx? Because it's great

and that's the bottom line cause Ryan Gosling said so (in a monotone voice followed by a 12 seconds stare)

Please note that this is not a should win list and I'm also not interested in making such a list. The quality in certain categories, particularly Animated Feature/Documentary/Cinematography is too high to pick a best one.

First..no need to spoiler anything..he dies, its in the trailer.

I don't mean us..the characters in the movie..specifically the son..have almost no reaction to him dying.

Moonlight

Of those the only ones I haven't seen is Manchester and Hell.
Really hope Moonlight gets it, just loved that film.
Didn't think much of La La Land. Adored hidden figures but I'm not sure its best picture worthy. Arrival was great, need to rewatch it soon.
Lion's first half was amazing but the second half fell a little flat. Hacksaw Ridge was decent but nothing amazing. Fences bored me, even though everyone in it was great

I'll spoiler it to be considerate.
He did, though, did you forget the fridge scene? He was hiding his pain and it spilled out there.

Is this being streamed online? I feel like I saw someone saying it would be streamed but I could be mistaken.

I agree...that parts a spoiler.
Incredible scene..but I feel it came too late. You don't lost a parent at that age and not at least cry the moment you find out. All he wanted to do was hang out with his friends and sleep with that girl. Unless he didn't like his father..which I never got that impression.

I find it very irksome that Hacksaw Ridge gets a directing nom but Silence is nowhere to be seen.

Of the two films about Andrew Garfield's faith being tested, one of them is a mawkish lifetime drama interspliced with some very well realised war scenes, whilst the other is Scorsese's finest film in almost two decades.

I REALLY have to check out the silence.
