The Academy Of Motion Picture Arts And Sciences began voting yesterday and conclude their vote on nominations on January 8, 2015. 

Here are my full list of predictions -- specifically who I think The Academy will announce as its nominees in the early morning hours in all the categories on January 15, 2015 -- for the 87th Annual Academy Awards, to be telecast February 22, 2015.

Note: I also stretched my Best Picture Oscar predictions from six films to ten. 

Second note: Some of the film titles are hyperlinked to my reviews.  The hyperlinks are not my predictions of actual winners at the Oscars on Feb. 22.  More links may be added on this list.
