Twelve Wins That Could Make History at the Oscars This Sunday

The biggest night in Hollywood is around the corner, and with it comes the possibility for a fresh batch of records to be broken and history to be made. Below, a few of the biggest Oscar milestones that may come to fruition on Sunday night. Outside of the technical categories, sci-fi movies have always had a tough go at the Academy Awards. With rare exception, they're usually overlooked for Best Picture--but depending upon who you ask, Guillermo del Toro's Creature From the Black Lagoon–inspired love story between a woman and a fish-man is the current front-runner (or close to it). Though their respective films, 12 Years a Slave and Moonlight, were crowned Best Picture, Steve McQueen and Barry Jenkins didn't manage to take home the coveted directing award.
