This long awards season comes to an end tomorrow and I could honestly see the night playing out many different ways. I'm not very confident about a lot of these predictions but I think that applies to anyone predicting the Oscars this year. My biggest gamble is 'The Lone Ranger' for Best Makeup & Hairstyling. So ater much deliberation, here are my final predictions for the 86th Academy Awards:
