Allison's Final 2015 Oscar Predictions
Alright, the Oscars are about to start. Below are my final picks. For the major categories, I chose to pick who I think will win as well as who I think should win (I wish they were the same, but often they do not match). Obviously, like most people, I believe this will be a big night for The Revenant. It has all the momentum right now. Let's see if there are any surprises for us tonight...
Enjoy!
Will this be a big night for The Revenant?
