The 88th Academy Awards will be presented Sunday night. Pop cultures websites all over have laid down their predictions, and we’ll find out soon who is right. The linked websites have predictions for all the major awards, and many also include their opinions of who should win if it’s different from their predictions.

In many of these articles, which movie the authors think will win is separated from which movie they want to win, and many of them are wistfully wishing for Mad Max: Fury Road to win Best Picture or Best Director.
