Alejandro G. Iñárritu, Birdman

Linklater for the dedication and consistency over 12 years.
Will Win
Iñárritu.

Best Supporting Actress
The Nominees
Patricia Arquette, Boyhood

Simmons.  Obvious.

Moore. Again, obvious.

Best Actor

Steve Carell, Foxcatcher
Bradley Cooper, American Sniper
Benedict Cumberbatch, The Imitation Game
Michael Keaton, Birdman
Eddie Redmayne, The Theory of Everything

Michael Keaton is probably in the lead, but it could be a flip of a coin here.

Best Picture

American Sniper
Birdman
Boyhood

The Imitation Game
Selma
The Theory of Everything
Whiplash
Should Win
"Boyhood." Come on, it took 12 years to make and it's brilliant.
Will Win
Odds are that Birdman will take it.  I've seen it twice and  could easily watch it again, so wouldn't mind either way.
