Final countdown! As the hours leading up to the 2015 Oscars quickly tick away, anticipation is growing for all of the gowns and speeches and tears we're sure to see come Sunday, Feb. 22. Who will be the best dressed, the most emotional? Will anyone pull a J.Law and trip going up the stairs?

Time will tell, but here, in no particular order, are eight things we hope to see on the red carpet and during the show.

1. A Neil Patrick Harris Song-and-Dance Number

NPH is the ultimate triple threat, and one of his greatest assets as an awards show host is his musical prowess. (Case in point: his surprise number in the middle of the 2013 Emmys, appropriately titled "The Number in the Middle of the Show." The man has a Tony, so expectations are high, but we're pretty confident he can live up to the hype. Go big or go home, right?

2. A Benedict Cumberbatch Photobomb

The Sherlock star and Imitation Game nominee is a photobombing pro -- he leapt into the background of a pic of U2 at the 2014 Academy Awards, and then crashed Meryl Streep's pic with Margaret Cho (in character as a North Korean general) at the 2015 Golden Globes. Where will he pop up next?
