I'm sticking with Washington as the front-runner since and this way, either I'll be right, or the best actor will win so it'll be a win-win for me. I know I'm probably wrong in Cinematography, but I really feel like Lion is going to pull an upset somewhere tonight but I don't see Moonlight losing in either of the bigger categories, and La La Land has to be vulnerable somewhere, so I've decided this is my NGNG pick.

My other against-the-grain pick is Arrival in Sound Editing. I watched it last night, or tried to, but it got too silly for me, and I ended up just listening to it. Its sound is amazing.

I'm predicting La La Land for only 7 wins, a lot less than most people's 10 or so. But since 2010, the BP winner has averaged only 3.8 wins. So La La Land winning just 7 would still be a pretty big sweep relatively speaking.
