2015 MTV Movie Award Predictions: Movie of the Year

Will Win - The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1

Could Win - Guardians of the Galaxy, The Fault in Our Stars, or American Sniper

Should Win - Selma, Whiplash, or Boyhood

Commentary - I am not a bit confident in this prediction, especially with the expanded number of nominees. I know that the Oscar fare like Selma, Whiplash, and Boyhood are probably out, but American Sniper could be a sleeper. But I think this is a three-way race. The Fault in Our Stars is in play in a lot of categories, which makes me think that it has a real shot here. Guardians of the Galaxy is easily a front runner, and I am pretty close to moving it into first place. But until it loses one of these things, I will stick with The Hunger Games. It has a proven track record, was hugely successful, and perfectly fits into this voting body.

2015 MTV Movie Award Predictions: Best Female and Male Lead

Best Male Lead
Will Win - Chris Pratt "Guardians of the Galaxy"
Could Win - Ansel Elgort "The Fault in Our Stars" or Bradley Cooper "American Sniper"
Should Win - Miles Teller "Whiplash" or Channing Tatum "Foxcatcher"
Commentary - American Sniper was a tremendous hit and Bradley Cooper, the only one to crossover with the Oscar Best Actor five, could benefit with a win here. Ansel Elgort is the heartthrob from the YA hit of the year The Fault in Our Stars. But I think that Chris Pratt, who was a breakout star with Guardians of the Galaxy, and has Jurassic World coming up soon, I think that this will be a huge reward for an up and coming movie star, and for a film that is clearly beloved among the populace.

Best Female Lead
Will Win - Shailene Woodley "The Fault in Our Stars"
Could Win - Jennifer Lawrence "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1" or Emma Stone "Birdman"
Should Win - Emma Stone "Birdman", Shailene Woodley "The Fault in Our Stars" and Reese Witherspoon "Wild"
Commentary - A great lineup of talented actresses makes for an interesting race. Kristen Stewart won three in a row, but eventually turned over the reign to Jennifer Lawrence, who could easily make history with a fourth win in a row. And while Birdman might not be the populist film, Emma Stone is certainly a well-liked younger actress with now an Oscar nomination under her belt, and a lot of upset potential. But I think that four in a row for Lawrence seems a bit much (not that I would be surprised), and Stone might need to find a more popular project. I think this is going to be Shailene Woodley's year. She has both The Fault in Our Stars, and the Divergent/Insurgent duo pulling in votes from all corners. She is a popular young star, and she is simply stunning in The Fault in Our Stars. It will be an incredibly close race, but I think Woodley ends Lawrence's reign.

2015 MTV Movie Predictions: Best Comedic Performance, Best On-Screen Transformation, and Best Breakthrough Performance

Best Comedic Performance
Will Win - Kevin Hart "The Wedding Ringer"
Could Win - Chris Pratt "Guardians of the Galaxy" or Channing Tatum "22 Jump Street"
Should Win - Rose Byrne "Neighbors" or Chris Rock "Top Five"
Commentary - Guardians is a huge success and Chris Pratt is a genuine star, and Channing Tatum has had a great year with Foxcatcher and 22 Jump Street. But I find it hard to bet against Kevin Hart. He is one of the most popular and hardest working comedian out there today. And while The Wedding Ringer was not his best effort, I think he has enough personal popularity to take the prize here. For the record, if voters really want to reward the best, then they should look to either Chris Rock or the always fantastic Rose Byrne. Both of them were simply fantastic in Top Five and Neighbors respectively, and I have my fingers crossed.

Best On-Screen Transformation
Will Win - Elizabeth Banks "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1"
Could Win - Eddie Redmayne "The Theory of Everything", Zoe Saldana "Guardians of the Galaxy", or Ellar Coltrane "Boyhood"
Should Win - Steve Carell "Foxcatcher"
Commentary - Carell was brilliant, but I think he is the fifth slot in a four-way race. Ellar Coltrane and Eddie Redmayne match the age of most voters, but both films are more pretentious, Oscar-bait films that will not appeal to the wider audience, although both are deserving. Guardians of the Galaxy was a huge hit, but Zoe Saldana with makeup doesn't seem to be a winner. I think that Elizabeth Banks, who strips down to bare bones, no fancy makeup that the character Effie is known for, will win over voters, who also happen to adore The Hunger Games series.

Best Breakthrough Performance
Will Win - Ansel Elgort "The Fault in Our Stars"
Could Win - Ellar Coltrane "Boyhood" or Dylan O'Brien "The Maze Runner"
Should Win - David Oyelowo "Selma"
Commentary - David Oyelowo should easily win this award for his stunning performance in Selma, but I honestly don't think he is even in the running. Ellar Coltrane spent 12 years of his life filming Boyhood, and Dylan O'Brien is a hit star in the MTV generation. But I think this one goes to Ansel Elgort for his first lead role in The Fault in Our Stars. He was great in the film, the film is a teen and emerging adult favorite, and I think he is the clear front runner.

2015 MTV Movie Award Predictions - Best On-Screen Duo, Best Kiss, Best Fight, and Best Villain

Best On-Screen Duo
Will Win - Ansel Elgort and Shailene Woodley "The Fault in Our Stars"
Could Win - Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill "22 Jump Street" or Vin Diesel and Bradley Cooper "Guardians of the Galaxy"
Should Win - Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill "22 Jump Street" or Ansel Elgort and Shailene Woodley "The Fault in Our Stars"
Commentary - Here's how I see this category. Four buddy comedies vs. the YA romance. Not only do I think that all four of those films will cancel out each other's votes, but that each of them would have trouble up against something like The Fault in Our Stars. Of the bunch, my guess would be that the duos from 22 Jump Street and Guardians of the Galaxy are the best bets to beat Elgort and Woodley, but I will be surprised if they pull it off.

Best Kiss
Will Win - Ansel Elgort and Shailene Woodley "The Fault in Our Stars"
Could Win - Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone "The Amazing Spider-Man 2"
Should Win - I see this as a two-way battle between four popular young films stars. I think that The Fault in Our Stars was much more popular, and was definitely better received than The Amazing Spider-Man 2. But Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone are also really popular actors, and a real life couple (apparently on a break, but wouldn't this be a great reunion?), which could persuade some votes their way.

Best Fight
Will Win - Chris Evans and Sebastian Stan "Captain America: The Winter Soldier"
Could Win - Seth Rogen and Zac Efron "Neighbors", or Jonah Hill and Jillian Bell "22 Jump Street"
Should Win - Michael Keaton and Edward Norton "Birdman"
Commentary - I would love to see Birdman win one of these things, just to prove the populist haters that it is a well-liked film across the board (although the nomination here goes a long way). But I think it is between either two funny fights, 22 Jump Street and Neighbors, and the big bad-ass blockbuster, visual effects-driven fight in Captain America. This category has seemed to reward the bigger players the last couple of years (The Hobbit, The Avengers, The Hunger Games, etc.). So I think that of the bunch Captain America is the front runner.

Best Villain
Will Win - Rosamund Pike "Gone Girl"
Could Win - J.K. Simmons "Whiplash" or Jillian Bell "22 Jump Street"
Should Win - J.K. Simmons "Whiplash"
Commentary - Just the scene where he throws the symbol of Miles Teller head is worthy of this award, and the Oscar win might actually help him. But I would be (pleasantly) surprised if he pulled it off. Jillian Bell was hilarious in 22 Jump Street and is a spoiler here. But Gone Girl was a huge film, and Rosamund Pike was bat-you know what-crazy in the film. It was so out of the box, so ridiculous, and so cold that I would be surprised if she didn't easily win this category.

2015 MTV Movie Award Predictions: Best Musical Moment and Best Scared-as-S*** Performance

Best Musical Moment
Will Win - Jennifer Lawrence "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1"
Should Win - Miles Teller "Whiplash"
Could Win - Miles Teller "Whiplash" or Chris Pratt "Guardians of the Galaxy"
Commentary - I would be thrilled if Whiplash took the cake here, especially since the whole film revolves around music, and Miles Teller is a popular young actor among the voting generation. But once again, I think this comes down to a battle between Hunger Games vs. Guardians of the Galaxy. Galaxy is the better of the two moments, but I think that this generation of MTV viewers will eat up another chance to reward Lawrence and The Hunger Games.

Best Scared-as-S*** Performance
Will Win - Dylan O'Brien "The Maze Runner"
Should Win - Rosamund Pike "Gone Girl"
Could Win - Rosamund Pike "Gone Girl" or Annabelle Wallis "Annabelle"
Commentary - Pike is obviously the best of the bunch, but she could be rewarded in another category (as you shall see). Plus, we have to remember the voting age of most of these folks. If they wanted to reward an actual horror film, then it will be Annabelle. But I think that The Maze Runner will play well with these particular voters, the same ones that love stuff like Divergent and The Hunger Games, and Dylan O'Brien, who is also on an MTV show, will swing enough voters his way.

2015 MTV Movie Award Predictions: Best WTF Moment and Best Shirtless Performance

Best WTF Moment
Will Win - Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne "Neighbors"
Should Win - Miles Teller "Whiplash"
Could Win - Jonah Hill and the Octopus "22 Jump Street"
Commentary - The WTF moment in Whiplash is the best nominee here (kind of surprised it got in to be honest), and it is a pivotal turning point in the film. It should win, but will probably lose out to more popular choices. Jonah Hill and the octopus is pretty ridiculous if you ask me, but Byrne and Rogen's moment in Neighbors is the most ridiculous of the bunch, and I think it pulls it off. Although I would also look out for Horrible Bosses 2. This is clearly going to be a battle of which of this year's raunchy comedies is the most popular.

Best Shirtless Performance
Will Win - Zac Efron "Neighbors"
Should Win - Not going there
Could Win - Channing Tatum "Foxcatcher" or Chris Pratt "Guardians of the Galaxy"
Commentary - Tatum's movie will be his biggest challenge here, although his personal popularity could easily override it. Chris Pratt is a possibility for Guardians, especially if the film gets on a roll. But after winning last year, and clearly being a favorite among this particular voting poplace, I will be surprised if Zac Efron does go 2 for 2. PS, I hate that every year the MTV folks make me pick a winner in these two categories. But after seeing their Best Film lineup this year, I am willing to let it go for now.

2015 MTV Movie Award Nominations

There are always a few WTF nominations (Annabelle, The Boy Next Door, The Other Woman), but overall, this is a pretty great list that balances indies with blockbusters, and recognizes comedy, sci-fi, and drama. Honestly, while I actually enjoyed most of the Oscar nominations this year, if the Academy is so worried about ratings, but also wants to keep its prestige factor, it should actually look to this year's MTV Movie Awards nominees.

The Oscar Narrative: Another Year Down...

Well another Oscar year has come and gone, and like all of them this season was filled with highs and lows, and in the end, a group of incredibly deserving winners. But before we dive into the winners, and the season as a whole, let's talk about the ceremony. After sitting through what felt like a particularly long ceremony, a thought popped into my mind: fire these producers. The reason the show, overall, worked as well as it did was because you had talented people involved, five great original song performances, and some spirited and passionate winners that delivered memorable speeches (Simmons, Arquette, Common/John Legend, and all of Inarritu's just to name a few). All of these things succeeded despite the producers. They and their writers even managed to dull Neil Patrick Harris, who had a few good moments, but also had a lot of jokes and bits fall flat (boy Octavia Spencer deserves an Oscar for playing along with that locked box bit). The fact that they chose their song for Jennifer Hudson to sing after the in memoriam (from Smash of all things), and the fact that they slipped yet another musical tribute (Okay so the Lady Gaga and Julie Andrews combo turned into one of the shows best moments, but the original thought was my issue) just proved that this duo is a self-absorbed group of guys that don't seem to think about anything other than obvious self-promotion. Ratings will probably drop this year because of the indie choices, but I hope it is also the catalyst that keeps them from returning.

Now onto the winners. There were a lot of films that inspired passionate supporters, and each of the eight Best Picture nominees walked away with at least one Oscar. So everybody's favorite got some love, and for those of us who loved multiple nominees this year, that was nice to see, especially after so many nominees went home empty handed last year. For those in the Boyhood camp though, last night was a heart-breaker. The Arquette win was great, but for a film that some people predicted would win up to four awards, walking away with only one has definitely left some folks feeling burned. Boyhood was a remarkable achievement, but so was Birdman. So was The Grand Budapest Hotel, Selma, and Whiplash for that matter. Those in the Boyhood camp have already labeled the Birdman win as a narcissistic, and conventional choice on the part of Oscar voters, as compared to the once-in-a-lifetime experience that Boyhood was. For me, I was thrilled to see that the top four films this year for the Academy were Boyhood, Birdman, The Grand Budapest Hotel, and Whiplash. We shouldn't be dividing into camps, trashing each other, nor labeling any win as appalling or the wrong choice, especially among these four films. We should all be celebrating the fact that such bold and un-Academy films had such impact on the industry this year. Starting with Ang Lee's win for Life of Pi, continuing with Cuaron and 12 Years a slave last year, and now with the choices almost across the board this year (as always there were a few conventional choices), the Academy is moving in a direction that I think I really like. Would I have liked to have seen the love spread to Linklater and Anderson as well as Inarritu? Yes. Would I have preferred that the Birdman love would have spread to Michael Keaton? Of Course. But when the Academy gets a heck of a lot more right than it does wrong, that is reason enough to celebrate. So my favorite wins of the night: Simmons and Moore, Whiplash for Editing, Birdman for Picture and Director, and Glory for Original Song.

This was a season that became embroiled in controversy, and became politically charged. Every major biopic took a hit this season. Selma and American Sniper became a battle of race and politics, of conservative versus liberal. It is not worth going into exorbitant detail, as we have all just lived through it and there is no need to rehash. But the politics spilled over to the ceremony itself as puns about Citizenfour, as well as women's rights, civil rights, and gay rights came to the forefront. So it is no surprise that in the midst of all the controversy, that voters looked inward. Birdman does fit the model of a movie about the business equals Oscar glory. But it would be a huge mistake to categorize it with the like of Argo and The Artist, both fine films, but neither anywhere near the artistry of Birdman. That is a surface level way to dismiss its win, but it doesn't complete the whole picutre. These members of this industry saw something in Birdman that enticed and scared the hell of them. This was their way of rewarding something that spoke to them in a way it will never do to mainstream American audiences. By doing so, the Academy dodged those highly political topics, and maybe in their own way they pushed past the controversies. And who can blame them? Who wants to tackle these issues? There is not much the Academy can do. It has tried to diversify its membership, which I think is actually working. Clearly we are starting to see the results as these bolder films start to stake their claim as a younger and more diverse voting body sets in.. So while some may claim that the Academy is racist, ignores great art, etc. (for the record it is the industry that lacks diversity and the Academy is a byproduct of that), and some may say that they copped out of rewarding something that might have caused controversy, the real reason behind Birdman's win is that they simply liked it better, avoiding charged controversy was just a nice way addition. They cannot immediately fix their problems (although I;m sure they will try), and in the meantime they can continue to honor great film, which is exactly what they did last night.

So this is my sixth year of Oscar coverage, and I could not be happier than to announce that soon enough we will start year number seven. The void we are all feeling right now is inevitable, but there are plenty of awards, plenty of movies and television shows to be seen, and plenty of predictions to be made. The world keeps on spinning. Congratulations to this year's winners, you all worked hard and survived a long battle that is not easy. And finally, thank you all for continuing to read and comment here at The Awards Psychic. Without the support of the readers like you, none of this would be possible. So keep watching, keep reading, keep rooting for the movies you love. Stay passionate and engaged, and continue to tune into The Awards Psychic. I just hope I make the destination worth the journey. Goodbye Oscar season 2014-2015, and hello to new beginnings.
