Oscar Nomination Predictions

One week till the Oscars and thought I would make my final predictions.  A lot of these are just guesses but it is always fun to try to predicts these things.  Although American Sniper is gaining momentum I feel it is to let to make the breakthrough into the Best Picture category. But with the rate it is rising and Unbroken falling it is foreseeable to see American Sniper overtake it.  

Let me know which ones you think are way off or think I nailed.
