I want Patricia Arquette to win Supporting Actress. I believe that she stole every scene of Boyhood.
Here for Julianne Moore too!
I've already seen over half of the most likely Picture nominees. Still need to watch Theory of Everything and Selma. Probably won't watch Sniper or Foxcatcher. I believe I've seen all other major contenders.
