Earlier this morning, the Academy announced the nominees for the 2015 Oscars. Below are the nominees in twelve major categories, and my predicted winner has been boldfaced.
Of my twelve predicted winners, there are only two that I am less-than-certain about. They are:
- Cinematography, where The Grand Budapest Hotel could upset Birdman [30% confidence of upset]; and
- Best Actor, where Eddie Redmayne in The Theory of Everything could upset Keaton in Birdman [20% confidence of upset].
The full list of nominees is available from the NYT in interactive-ballot-form here.
