Who will win (and who should win) Oscars

With the Oscar telecast coming right at us on February 22nd, now's the time to check the odds on the main competition. Whether you're betting at home, school or office, the Academy of Old Farts and Retro Sciences (numbering more than 6,000 strong) always has a few thorny surprises up its sleeve. For example, not one person of color appears among the 20 nominees for acting. Can the race-shaming tilt the Best Picture contest in favor of "Selma," especially since the frontrunners have long been "Boyhood" and "Birdman"? For the answers to that question and more, check out my take on who Will Win and Who Should Win in the whitest Oscar race in years.
