moviemanMDG's Final 2016 Oscar Predictions

The 88th Academy Awards is upon us!  Which means it’s time for me to list off my final predictions on who will take home the gold this year.  Before I start, let me remind you that these predictions are based on my guts and the amount of buzz I’ve been hearing from the other awards shows, such as the Critics’ Choice Awards.  Some of my predictions might be a bit different compared to yours, but as always, we all have different tastes when it comes to film.  With that said, let’s get started!
