The glitz and glamour of the Oscars is finally here. The 88th Academy Awards ceremony takes the stage on Feb. 28 at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, honoring the best films of 2015. The awards show will air on ABC at 7 p.m., but before you watch and applaud the winners, make your own predictions.
Based on the Golden Globes and BAFTAs, The Revenant is the favorite for best picture, as are Leonardo DiCaprio and Brie Larson for best actor and actress, respectively. Will it be a sweet moment for Sylvester Stallone for his role in Creed and the ultimate comeback for Jennifer Jason Leigh for The Hateful Eight? Will Alejandro González Iñárritu win best director again or will Tom McCarthy take home the award for Spotlight?
