Oscars 2015: Readers' predictions on the major award winners

Who will take home the Oscars?

The Oscars red carpet is rolled out and there’s no stopping the stars to grace the most anticipated film event of the year.

The 87th Annual Academy Awards is hosted by Neil Patrick Harris at the Oscar’s venue in Hollywood’s Dolby Theatre. 

Aside from celebrating the joys of triumph for the Oscars winners, the performers and celebrity presenters are also much awaited by film fans all over the globe.

Astro AWANI monitored the Oscars this year by running extensive coverage like the full lists, updates, original stories, photo galleries as well as polls.

We posted a few polls for the major awards since last week and the results are in. Our readers have casted their votes and here are the verdicts. Let’s see if our English readers predicted right.

For the Best Film category, our readers have voted American Sniper starring Bradley Cooper, a US Navy SEAL who is on a sole mission to protect his comrades and became the one of the most lethal snipers in American history.


Boyhood came in second, a film that shares the joys and pitfall of growing up through the eyes of an American child names Mason, acted by Ellar Coltrane.

The film on history, technology and the plight of homosexuality, starring among English most talented Benedict Cumberbatch and Keira Knightley, The Imitation Game is our readers’ third favourite movie to win the Best Film Category.

For the Best Director category, our readers predicted that another Spanish film director will take home the Oscars like last 2013’s winner, Alfonso Cuaron for Gravity. This time it is Alejandro G. Iñárritu for Birdman or The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance.


A tale on robotics prodigy, Hiro who lives in the City of Franskoyo, Big Hero 6 is our readers’ favourite for the Best Animated Feature Film Category.

Edward Norton forBirdman and JK Simmons for Whiplash are two favourites for the Best Supporting Actor category, while Patricia Arquette for Boyhood and Keira Knightley for The Imitation Game for the Best Supporting Actress category.

For theBest Actor category, our readers have chosen English actor Benedict Cumberbatch who played a quiet genius who encounters disgrace during the World War 2 in The Imitation Game. And the for the Best Actress category, the award goes to 2015 Golden Globe Award winner for the same category, Julianne Moore.


Now that the carpet is rolled out and our result for the poll is out, Let’s see if our English readers predicted right.
