The 88th Academy Awards- If I Picked the Winners

Here's a quick, unsurprising and repetitive break down of my personal picks for all of the major nominees this year. I'm skipping the usual Shorts and Documentaries and Animated stuff and Foreign language stuff because I didn't see any of them. As usual- didn't get to see everything- Steve Jobs, Trumbo, Straight Outta Compton, and Carol being the more notably missed ones.

Again- these are what I would personally like to see win, NOT what I think WILL win.
