"Rogue One: A Star Wars Story"Now here is my list of predicted winners and hopes. Again, like in previous years I omitted categories that I'm not too familiar with and, honestly, don't care all that much about. If you want to make your own list of predictions and include categories that I left out please do go ahead. What/Who I think should win is in BOLD. Who I think they're going to actually pick is in ITALICS and UNDERLINED. If a pick is in BOLD, ITALICS, and UNDERLINED then that means I believe they're going to pick the person/movie that I also think they SHOULD pick.
