The Oscars are finally this weekend! Everyone has been predicting who will win, but also talking about the lack of diversity nominated with the #OscarsSoWhite hashtag trending. Chris Rock is set to host, which we are looking forward to, but I'm sure there will be some awkward jabs at the Academy on account of the lack of diversity nominated.

Leonardo DiCaprio will be chasing the Oscar that everyone has been saying he's earned with his role in The Revenant. Mad Max has 10 nominations, trailing behind The Revenant's 12 nominations. Star Wars has five nominations mainly for the team behind the scenes working on sound, editing and visual effects. Spotlight is another possible big winner with five nominations including Best Picture.

Regardless of the controversy, we'll tune in for Chris Rock, Leo, the fashion and to see if we predicted right. Make your own Oscars predictions on Sage to join in on the fun.
