The Academy Awards, arguably Hollywood’s glitziest award show, airs today. Red carpet coverage begins at 4 p.m., and Our resident film guru, Zachary FR Anderson, has sent in his predictions for the big winners of the evening.

Best Picture: “Boyhood” directed by Richard Linklater: From the beginning, Richard Linklater’s ambitious twelve yearlong project “Boyhood” was the favorite to win. Even with the rise of “Birdman,” this one of a kind film has taken its place in cinema history as one of the craft’s greatest achievements.

Best Actor In A Leading Role: Eddie Redmayne as Stephen Hawking in “The Theory of Everything.” Eddie Redmayne is a safe bet due to his accoutrement of other wards including a Golden Globe, and Screen Actors Guild award. However, I would love to see Michael Keaton due to how well he took control of his role.

Best Actress In A Leading Role: Julianne Moore as Dr. Alice Howard in “Still Alice.” Julianne Moore is one of the most gifted actors of her generation. Her portrayal as a women with Alzheimer’s is heartbreaking and at times triumphant. Rosamund Pike does deserve a nomination for her role in “Gone Girl” but I believe that it’s not what the Academy was looking for this year.

Best Director: Richard Linklater, “Boyhood.” For the past two years, the Oscar for Best Director has gone to those who have adapted the medium for the computer age (Ang Lee for “Life of Pie” and Alfonso Cuaron for “Gravity”). But Richard Linklater took the most complex and simple of elements to create something great.

Best Actor In A Supporting Role: J.K. Simmons as Terence Fletcher in “Whiplash.” Terence Fletcher is a monster. He is the monster that I want to teach my kids if they ever aspire to become great jazz musicians. Some what you will about his teaching, but it is effective. Sorry, I almost forgot that Terence Fletcher is a character and not a real person. That’s how good Simmons is in this role.

Best Actress In A Supporting Role: Patricia Arquette as Olivia Evans in “Boyhood.” Meryl Streep winning is very unlikely. The best bet would be Arquette. I know moms like Olivia Evans. I’m familiar with their fears and ambitions and how they just thought there would be more. It’s heartbreaking and yet it’s so truthful. Sometimes I watch “Boyhood” and wonder whether her growth was what made the movie or was it Ellar Coltrane’s.

Best Animated Feature Film: “The Tale of the Princess Kaguya.” Studio Ghible may have lost its fearless leader Hayao Miyazaki (“Spirited Away” and “My Neighbor Totoro”) but it hasn’t lost its creativity. Isao Takahata went back to basics when making this film and what followed was a film that is nothing but entertaining.
