Predict the winners in all 24 categories for this year's Oscars. One point for each correct answer in a category. Whoever has the highest total wins.

The 88th Annual Academy Awards takes place on February 28, 2016. You can edit your picks. Thread will be closed a few hours before the event takes place. If there are any unforeseen complications in the future, I will settle it at my own discretion. Good luck. [Note: Don't forget to write down your Zootopia tiebreaker]
