Oscar Predictions?

---------------------------------------------------------
Come on guys, you know you want to...
I'm honestly not completely sure what to think about tonight.
Each category could go one of multiple ways. I'm split when it
comes to best actress and the two screenplay categories as well.
And who knows what will happen with director.
Anyway, this is who I think will win. Not necessarily who I'd
want to win.

[I'd personally give it to Phoenix]
Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role

I thought Chastain and Lawrence were neck and neck until JLaw
picked up the Independent Spirit Award.
