Before the big show tonight, I’ve got to get in my Oscars predictions. 2015 was a crazy good year for film and the competition is still anyone’s game at this point. With many of the guilds favoring all different nominees, there isn’t a clear front runner for some of the major categories. While many fingers are pointing to Spotlight, The Revenant has earned a lot of love, but then there’s The Big Short that is proving to be a possible under dog. I would prefer to see all three of these movies split the vote and have Mad Max: Fury Road win everything.

The live 88th Annual Academy Awards coverage will begin tonight, Sunday, February 28 on the ABC at 7 p.m. EST/4 p.m. PST.
