2016 Oscar Face-Offs: Here’s Who We Predict Will Win

Seven Rocky pictures. Which Stallone is pretty much solely responsible for. Which made Hollywood exactly $1,285,192,797. Just so we’re clear, that’s 1.3 billion U.S. dollars. In the words of John Malkovich’s Russian character in “Rounders,” “Give dat man his Mah-neee!” No, wait—that’s what Stallone gave Hollywood. So—“Give dat man his Oscar!” Enough said.

There are multiple contestants in each Oscar category of course, but it usually boils down to two front-runners. Here’s who the Epoch Times film critic picks for 2016.
