Predicting three popular Oscar winners

The Academy Awards are a yearly event in which Hollywood actors, directors and others are praised for the amazing work of the past year.

Everyone now wonders who will take home the gold trophy as well as who will get snubbed.

Here’s a look at possible winners.

Best Picture: “American Sniper”

It isn’t an easy choice, let alone competing with a movies such as “The Theory of Everything” or statistical favorites “Birdman” and “Boyhood.”

It’s just when you see “American Sniper” you don’t know how to characterize Chris Kyle.

That’s why to me it’s a love/hate film throughout.

The viewer loves the fact he can be a one man army by the way he kills but you hate that he seems to have more recognizable emotion on the battlefield rather than with his family at home.

Best Actor: Eddie Redmayne, “The Theory of Everything”

To some, if not all, this might be a snub but to me not knowing who this guy was prior to this movie made me think that for him to step to the plate and deliver makes it more of the clear choice.

Best Actress: Rosamund Pike, “Gone Girl”

This just might be another snub for Julianne Moore. The question goes from when will she win to possibly who will win one first her or Leonardo DiCaprio, the often nominated, never honored actor.

But when you see “Gone Girl” this movie is an on-the-edge of your seat mystery movie you just have no clue what’s going on then when it happens you can’t help but go from “Ben Affleck is the killer no doubt” to “Man that chick is crazy but smart.”

Other possible winners include Emma Stone as Best Supporting Actress for her role in “Birdman” and J.K. Simmons as Best Supporting Actor for his highly acclaimed role in “Whiplash”.

No matter what the results show one thing is certain there are no promising winners.
