2016 Academy Award Nominees - my predictions & winners

EDIT: OK folks, it's happened the ceremony is complete, the winners are announced and the fun has been had for another year. Sadly due to my real job I didn't get to sit and watch the ceremony live as I have been able to in the past, one of the saddest parts of no longer working in the film industry, however I have sat myself down with a cup a while I update this post for some serious Oscars binge viewing (much to the disgust of my man friend who would rather be watching the cricket or some such form of sportsball).

I've thrown into my original post of my faves and my predictions the winners. How did you fare with your predictions?

Here are my predictions for the 2016 Academy Awards, what I think will win and what I hope will win. In some cases they are one and the same, but not always. There are also some that I have based just on trailers and reviews because the films aren't out yet in Australia or are hard to come by when they do make it to our shores.

So, here we go...

There you have it folks, my 2016 Academy Award predictions and the winners, out of 24 categories, I picked 10 likely winners, 2 that I listed as my favourite but not the likely winner got through and the rest I was off. I'd love to hear how you went with your predictions.

Now, back to my cuppa and my ceremony viewing. Although it's not quite as exciting as I know the results, I still love kicking back and soaking up the atmosphere and watching people's acceptance speeches and their reactions to winners.
