Here comes my predictions.
Predictions from someone who's got 19/24 last year, 18/24 in 2013 and 21/24 in 2012.
I'm an OSCAR SPECIALIST GURLS
Here they're:

Interstellar looks like a shoe-in for the sound and visual categories. It feels like they never leave a Christopher Nolan film out any Oscar ceremony.
According to me, "
Budapest" will slay with 5 wins, with none in the Top 4. It's pretty common for the biggest winner of the night to win none of the major awards. In recent memory, there's Hugo slaying with 5 Oscars just 3 years ago.
Boyhood should follow Budapest with 3 Oscars, possibly 4, as they're the "shock win" for Whiplash's Best Editing, as the highly-publicized 12 years the movie took to be shot could spark voters for picking it in Edition.
Do we have the list with the order the awards are being handed? It usually comes out a few hours before the show.
