My Oscar Predictions 2015: Or at least, this is what I hope wins...

The Academy has lurched its' ugly head once again, and I figured I'd give my predictions (or, more accurate, hopes) on what will win this year.

Best Picture: Birdman (or the Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance), Whiplash, The Imitation Game, or The Grand Budapest Hotel (I would be happy with any of these winning)
Best Director: Richard Linklater, Boyhood (though I personally think it would be a bit of an overstatement to say "Best"), or Alejandro González Iñárritu
Best Actor: Steve Carrell, Foxcatcher, or Benedict Cumberbatch, The Imitation Game (Jake Gyllenhaal should have gotten the nomination for Nightcrawler)

Best Foreign Language Film: Leviathan
Best Documentary Feature: Virunga, or Finding Vivian Maier
Best Original Score: Hans Zimmer, Interstellar, or Alexandre Desplat, The Grand Budapest Hotel
