Oscar Nominations will be handed out tomorrow morning and after skimming over the long list of precursor awards, I'm going to give my best predictions for the names you should expect to make the final cut tomorrow in the major race. So here they are, my 2015 Oscar Nominee predictions:
Best Original Screenplay
Predicted Nominees: Birdman, Boyhood, Foxcatcher, The Grand Budapest Hotel and Nightcrawler
