Shoulda Coulda Been a Contenda

February 22, 2015 By Wendell Collins

I have been a longtime Oscar prognosticator and have been wrong ALMOST about as much as I've been right but nonetheless I carry on. This year, I've watched just about all the nominees so will be doing more educated guesses than the past (some of my bizarre wins in the past have been split second guesses to the constant surprise of my old neighbors).

That being said, here are my "shoulda/willa win" picks (my apologies to Oscar Winner Brando):

Shoulda -

Boyhood - Best Picture

Michael Keaton - Best Actor

Reese Witherspoon - Best Actress

Morton Tyldum (TIG) - Best Director

Patricia Arquette - Best Supporting Actress

Ed Norton - Best Supporting Actor

Grand Budapest Hotel - Best Cinematography, Production Design, Music

The Imitiation Game - Best Screenplay, Editing

Glory (Selma) - Best Original Song

Willa -

Birdman - Best Picture (or maybe Selma although it was ignored otherwise, or maybe TIG - this one is the real tossup - who knows maybe my pick?) - I am fudging here!

Eddie Redmayne - Best Actor

Julianne Moore - Best Actress

Richard Linklater - Best Director

Patricia Arquette - Best Supporting Actress

Ed Norton - Best Supporting Actor

Grand Budapest Hotel - Best Cinematography, Production Design, Music

The Imitiation Game - Best Screenplay, Editing

Glory (Selma) - Best Original Song
