Final Oscar Predictions 2015

Preface

You guys know how much I love the Oscars.
- The answer, if you’re new to this site, is a lot.
Even though we get mad every year about all the snubs (Lego Movie, Jake Gyllenhaal, Gone Girl), it’s the one day of the year where everyone really cares about and loves movies as much as I do all the time.
- Makes the world a better place…
So here are my final predictions for who will win at the big ceremony tonight!
- I’ve talked about a lot of these in depth before (I’ll link my reviews for each) so I won’t waste wordcounts with a huge amount of explanation.
  - I’ll keep it simple with the nominees list, followed by Will Win and Could Win.
    - Though the whole Could Win thing feels like a bit of a cheat at times, I do feel more confident with all my picks if I have it in ‘second place’.
  - Alrighty, let’s start it up!

Kingsman: The Secret Service Review

Premise

Well, it’s official ladies and gentlemen: we have our first great movie of 2015.

Premise

(I decided to start adding in this section just because there are people who don’t know what some movies will be about, which is completely fine, not everyone is a huge movie fan all the time. This is for you all!)
So Kingsman: The Secret Service is about a secret spy organization–you guessed it, The Kingsman–and it’s more specifically about an agent of the Kingsman who is recruiting a new kid to join them following the death of their former member.
And I purposely annotated one of the later trailers above because initially, I didn’t think it looked that good!
- It looked like that Alex Rider piece-of-crap from my childhood.
- Anybody else remember that??
Luckily, it wasn’t. And this movie could be reviewed in just one word: awesome.

Preface

I’m getting this to you guys a couple days late, and I’m sorry about that.
- I just had to find the chunks of my brain that flew out after The Lego Movie wasn’t nominated for Best Animated Feature, and try to reassemble those chunks in the proper fashion.
Yeah we’ll talk about that snub later, but seriously: yeah I had a ton of projects to finish for the semester at school all day Thursday.
- Friday I was busy too and worked hard to crank out Night at the Museum Spoiler-Free and Spoiler Filled (you’ll get that later tonight) Reviews.
- I spent like 2 and a half hours on Spider-Man yesterday and just spent the rest of the day hibernating.
- NOW here’s the Oscar Nominees Reaction Post!
  - And the American Sniper Review should be out in the next couple days too.
- Man, January is so much busier for movies than I thought!
