Lets take a look back to the 86th Academy Awards. This would be similar or close to what my predictions would of been for what I believe should of been nominated for the 86th Oscars.
This list would of been posted (using this format) a day or two before the official nomination announcement. By that time, all other award show (SAG, PGA, DGA, Golden Globes, Critics Choice, BAFTA, etc.) would be done.
Remember what made the 86th Academy Awards unique was the Gravity vs. 12 Years a Slave for Best Picture, Frozen and it's songs, and also this was the year before the #OscarSoWhite Controversy which caused the membership changes and a new way of thinking for nominees.
