Academy Awards Predictions, Part Two

The 87th Academy Awards are this Sunday. Here’s my take on some of the possible winners.

The Best Actor award will likely go to Eddie Redmayne for his performance in “The Theory of Everything.”

I give a reasonable, outside chance for Michael Keaton to win the award for “Birdman.”

Almost definitely, the Best Supporting Actor award will go to J.K. Simmons for his role in “Whiplash.”

The more competitive awards for Best Director and Best Picture figure to go to director Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu for his film, “Birdman.”

Though Director Richard Linklater and his film “Boyhood” both have a real chance.
