This year’s “Boyhood” is Mad Max. Apparently, there has to be a movie that I hate but might win a bunch of awards. I really hope it doesn’t happen. The problem is it has a good chance to win many of the technical awards (I’m going with Star Wars), but that said without writing, actors, or director I don’t see it getting Best Picture. Having The Revenant win Best Picture without a the screenplay is also scary but I don’t think Spotlight had enough going for it. Also of note, Mark Ryland should win over Stallone but there’s a lot of sentiment going for Sly.

Screw you Mad Max. Screw You.

 

Here we are again! I really hope Boyhood gets snubbed and the gimmick didn’t actually fool everyone. I am REALLY hoping Patricia Arquette doesn’t win but I had to pick her just because that’s the way it is looking (maybe Emma Stone?). That said, I’m also going against the grain and picking neither Boyhood or Birdman for best picture.

Last minute change for best song, I don’t know what I was thinking.
