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.

1. Boyhood
2. Birdman
3. Selma
4. The Imitation Game
