And so Oscar prognostication season has come to a close. Now that the Oscars are only two days away, it’s time to put to bed our final predictions. While some categories were really tough to make choices in, others were incredibly easy. We only agreed on 9 categories: Animated Feature, Actor, Supporting Actor, Adapted Screenplay, Editing, Makeup, Sound Mixing, Sound Editing and Visual Effects. Out of 24 categories, that’s not a lot suggesting a more competitive race than we had imagined. Here is a re-cap of our predictions along with our Winner Tally counts. Stay tuned Sunday for live Tweeting the Oscars, plus new posts for every winner. That all starts Sunday evening!
