Oscar Predictions 2015

Movie Review by Griffintainment X CalgaryMovies.com

I actually wasn't going to do an Oscar predictions post this year, not only because a lot of the smaller awards ceremonies have already happened, but also because this Oscars is one of the most predictable in years. I don't see much deviation from the awards that have been happening and Hollywood's big night in regards to winners and losers. But, because I obviously have nothing better to do right now and because I want everyone to know how good I am not only at watching movies but at pointing out the obvious, here are my predictions for 2015's ceremony of the well toned golden man.
