Entertainment Tonight Oscar Predictions: Here’s Who Will Win

The movies have been screened. The votes have been cast. And now everyone in Hollywood is sitting around, twiddling their thumbs, and waiting for Sunday night’s Oscars to find out whose “Academy Award Nominee” title will officially become “Academy Award Winner.”

Here are our predictions for the night’s biggest awards:

The tightest race of the year, Best Picture is basically a toss-up between Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance) and Boyhood.

Who Everyone Thinks Will Win: Consulting Oscar predictions from trades like Variety, The Hollywood Reporter, and Deadline, as well as Buzzfeed, IndieWire, and The L.A. Times, the overwhelming consensus is that Birdman will win.

Who We Think Will Win: But we’re still going with Boyhood. Both films are true feats of cinema and, as such, have pretty much split awards season down the middle, but we favor heart to spectacle in the end.

The Dark Horse: Making a last minute push for the title, American Sniper has a swell of support from Middle America and box office success to bolster its chances, but it will almost certainly prove too controversial of a choice.
