This week, members of Academy will begin to pick Oscar Nominees. The voting started on Dec. 30 and will last up to Jan. 8. The nominees will be announced on January 14. Now here's what we now so far about the Oscar's TV schedule and nominations predications.

According to Variety, this year's Oscars will be a "hot mess," since there are no frontrunners just yet. So expect it's going to be one exciting year for movie fans.

Here are the predictions for Oscar Nominations:

In the Best Picture Category, Mad Max: Fury Road is starting to seem like a possible winner. Golden Globes nominated the movie for multiple nominations such as Best Picture and Best Director for George Miller's feminist action film.

For the Best Actress award, Rooney Mara for Carol and Alicia Vikander for The Danish Girl are in the lead. On other hand, Jennifer Lawrence may have been snubbed by the Screen Actors Guild, but her Golden Globe nomination will probably lead to her to an Oscar nomination.
