Bradley Cooper, as a sniper and a raccoon, wins big in our alternative Oscar poll

Prognosticators are busy debating whether “Boyhood” or “Birdman” will dominate the Academy Awards Sunday night.

But our readers have the race sewn up right now: “American Sniper” and anything Bradley Cooper touched. In our alternative Oscar poll, we asked you to vote for who should win the major categories as well as a few we came up with ourselves. And Cooper cleaned up: He won best actor. His blockbuster movie, “American Sniper,” won best picture. And Rocket Raccoon, the fuzzy critter he voiced in “Guardians of the Galaxy,” won best talking animal.

“The Imitation Game” did well for itself as well, winning best World War II movie and best line.
