Hollywood’s biggest night, the Academy Awards ceremony, goes down on Sunday. After months of talk about the movies lining up to be the frontrunners and millions of dollars spent by studios to campaign for them, we will finally get some closure.

"La La Land" leads the field with a record-tying 14 nominations, and we expect it to take home many of those Oscars. But there are titles including "Moonlight" and "Hidden Figures" that could play spoilers.

Then there's the best actor category, which is shaping up to be one of the night's most interesting toss-ups, as it is expected to be a two-way race between Casey Affleck for "Manchester by the Sea" and Denzel Washington for "Fences."

Here are our predictions of who will win the 2017 Oscars and who could win:

The Academy Awards air on ABC on Sunday at 7 p.m. ET/4 PT.

Best original score

What will win: "La La Land"
Get ready: This title will most likely get called a lot on Oscar night. And it's difficult to see a beloved musical walk away without being recognized for its score.

What could win: "Moonlight"
If there is a spoiler it's the moving strings in "Moonlight." The movie could also pull off some upsets throughout the night.



Best original song

What will win: "City of Stars" ("La La Land")
Again, it's the music that's the backbone of "La La Land," and this is a main piece.

What could win: "How Far I'll Go" ("Moana")
If Academy voters are feeling in a history-setting mood, they may go with Lin-Manuel Miranda's song. The win would make the "Hamilton" star the youngest person ever to win the famed EGOT.



Best editing

What will win: "Arrival"
Editing is important in every movie, but the use of it to deliver the powerful ending in "Arrival" should be recognized.

What could win: "Moonlight"
Used as a way to jump us forward in time with the blink of an eye, the editing in "Moonlight" is also top-notch.
