Instead of me posting my full list I used the above article as a lead in since it's pretty much written on who's going to win, But I'm posting below a few exceptions of what I think will win instead whats in the article. But it save me a lot of typing time.
Picture: Birdman (as mentioned) but don't be surprise with all the news lately for American Sniper.
Actor: Eddie Redmayne (as mentioned) but Micheal Keaton should get it instead.
Director: Linklater
Editing: Whiplash
Screenplay:Whiplash
Soundtrack: Budapest Hotel (yes the music was that good)
Animation: Dragon but they might go old school with Princess Kayuga.

UPDATE: 2/21/15

As mentioned on the show the academy votes for Best Picture without even seeing it? Yep as staed in this article with Lucas being right this time. No cats mentioned tho.

The other big news for the day is:
http://variety.com/2015/film/news/new-alien-movie-confirmed-at-fox-with-director-neill-blomkamp-1201436551/?hq_e=el&hq_m=3031271&hq_l=19&hq_v=ac94ddf0df
Quick video interview with the director and film footage from Alien. Finally they got this off the ground and with the right director. And Ridley has been making her rounds lately saying she was interested in being part of the project. And how would she fit in. Who the hell cares. Remnember when Spock died in SW2:Wrath of Khan and came back in ST3: Search for Spock. Nobody dies in Sci-fi unless they ask for too much money for the sequel. So there.

Oscar trivia:
