My 86th Annual Academy Award Nomination Predictions

        Tomorrow at 5:35am PST the nominations for the 86th Academy Awards will be announced by Cheryl Boone Isaacs and Chris Hemsworth. So with that being said, I'm here to give you my predictions on what I believe will be nominated in each category for the Awards show. Now all of the technical (behind the scenes excluding director) categories have a random numbers of different nominees (one category could have 5 another could have 3). With that being said I will put down what I believe he top 5 contenders for each award is since I do not know which categories will have 5, less than 5 or more than 5. The awards for Best Actor, Actress, Supporting Actor, Supporting Actress and Director always have 5 nominees, so the ones you see are who I think will be nominated. So without further ado..........
