My predictions for the big night

In a little more than 24 hours, the Super Bowl of the movies will begin and we'll see how well I know my stuff (or how good I am at making predictions). I have seen the movies up for major nominations and I've seen all of the performances in the acting categories. Below, I will write who SHOULD win and who WILL win. Last year I correctly predicted every category except for one. Will lightning strike twice or will I be an abysmal failure? Either way, I'm going to have fun.

peace,

paul
