88th Academy Awards

            Whether you're into the crazy fun of awards season or not, the Academy Awards have proven to show up every year and be one thing: cool. You will always have a good time watching this; an almost untouchable realm of humans that are now acting in a way we aren't used to: human. Relax while tuning in, this is about the fun of seeing the purest form of entertainment climaxing onto one stage and celebrating a year's worth of fun that we all shared.

            Like you, I have my own opinions and I'd like to lend them for your comparison. Here is who I think will win in the "big" categories as well as who I think you shouldn't be surprised as an underdog win if the Academy is so forgiving. Also, there were a few snubs this year that I may as well bring up because, why not, it's what I do!
