Predicting the Oscar Nominations 2015

I will be without access to the internet when the Oscar nominations come out on January 15. So here are my predictions for the nominees in some of the major categories a little early. (Things I've seen already in bold)

Edit: Whiplash was determined to qualify in the adapted screenplay category so I revised my prediction.  Also,  I no longer believe that Unbroken will be nominated for best picture, so I chose Nightcrawler instead.

Best Picture- up to 10 nominees
1. Boyhood
2. Birdman
3. Selma
4. The Imitation Game
5. The Theory of Everything
