Take a Number: Here's the Order of Tonight's Statue Delivery
This was tweeted out by Jake Hamilton today. I assume it's accurate since it looks like the official program.
The hardest category to predict this year is, I mantain, Costume Design. I'd call it the only truly five-wide race. And it's fourth so some real suspense right off the bat. We'll also know very early whether a Kate & Leo reunion is coming since Supporting Actress is third... though I fully expect Alicia Vikander to take that one. [Final Predictions ICYMI]
You'll also notice that they're not doing the short films all at once this year but (perhaps) pairing them with kindred spirit categories (animated short with animated feature, doc short with documentary, and live action short with foreign film... which makes sense since it's often a hodgepodge of foreign shorts that are nominated).
Are you feeling excited yet or merely panicked whilst preparing for your festivities?
P.S. Please enjoy this great Leonardo DiCaprio goodie from The Flippist.

Ugh. Do we really need Buzz Lightyear? Hasn't that been done to death?
mikey67 -- apparently we need to celebrate 1999 again instead of making room for some actual nominees
Why honor the not-famous song nominees when we can all think about those great untarnished gems from 1999? Toy Story's fine and all, but who doesn't want to bring up The Green Mile in the second consecutive year of OscarsSoWhite?
