The 87th Academy Awards- If I Picked the Winners

I present to you what my personal picks would be for the Oscars this year. I've seen the majority of the main nominees and being a judgmental jerk I've predicted what movies won't win because they're either bad or simply don't have a chance in hell. For example, I haven't seen Grand Budapest Hotel because I hate Wes Anderson with a burning passion.

I'm gonna skip a couple of the lesser-known awards like for Documentary and the Short Subjects mainly because I have next to no interest in them as films (not to be too disparaging of course).

Keep in mind, I'm not saying that these selections have ANY chance of winning, they're just my personal picks. And I'm only going to include names of people when I think they're significant or important. Also, I'm not gonna give super specific blurbs about any one of them, I'm just making a list. It's that simple.
