The Oscars - What Should Win, What Will Win


Like always, the Academy's decisions for nominations are both pleasing and frustrating. The complete omissions of masterful films such as Steve McQueen's Shame and Nicolas Winding Refn's Drive is both disgusting and sadly predictable, but one is not here to moan about what pictures were unfairly left behind, I'm here to tell you what should and what will win at this year's Oscars by providing an entirely factual list (the 'entirely factual' bit is debatable...)
