The arrival of yet another Oscar night brings with it the usual rituals for us devoted viewers. We rush to get our pool ballots completed before the beginning of show time. We debate which of the evening’s winners will deliver the most moving speeches, and which will crank out the most embarrassing future memes. We engage in disproportionately hotheaded disagreements about whether or not the night’s favorite for Best Picture is indeed worthy of the honor. And truth be told, no matter how banal or misguided some of these traditions may be, it’s still nice to have a few things we can count on year after year.
And with that, we turn our attention once again to the pools, predictions, and debates that make the Academy Awards–and the experience of watching them–what they are. Keep an eye on Nerdist’s Twitter account to experience these traditions along with us, and keep watch below as we update our winners list live throughout the ceremony. May your Oscar night be filled with the usual joys, headaches, and screaming matches that we’ve come to love over the past 89 years… or however long you’ve been watching.Best Supporting Actor
