88th academy award predictions

It's that time of the year again when I make my Oscar predictions. Best Picture is very difficult to pick with no clear-cut favourite. I managed to see all the movies nominated in 14 of the categories. There will be some categories I won't bother to include as I haven't seen any of the movies nominated. The predictions I have made are based on what I have been reading about on the Internet plus some of my intuition. To make it more interesting, I will also mention the movies or performances that should win, even if they haven't been nominated. You can access my reviews by clicking on the movie titles.
