How Many Standing Ovations - 4
Who Will Get the Final Spot in the In Memoriam - Peter O'Toole

I decided it was just easier to go all-in and predict no runners-up than hem and haw over how likely a runner-up would be to upset my prediction. (I really think Original Screenplay and Film Editing are going to be nail-biters though. And I still do think American Hustle is going to win SOMETHING, but...)

The list is decided upon weeks in advance but can be edited up to the last minute.

Big Magilla wrote:Final In Memoriam - Harold Ramis (I suspect they filmed the segment with Philip Seymour Hoffman at the end but rather than sandwich Ramis in somewhere they added him at the end - subject to change if someone major dies within the next couple of days)

I can almost guarantee that Ramis won't be included in the Memoriam segment at all. There is a cut-off of about 3 weeks before the ceremony. He will most likely be included in next year's Memoriam segment.
