Top 10 Predictions for 2016


if these things happen then you heard it
here first
if they don’t well let’s just not talk
about it welcome to watchmojo.com and
today we’re counting down our picks for
the top 10 predictions for 2016 I don’t
even know what to say right now that is
one of the coolest experiences I’ve ever
had for this list we’ve predicted
possible and probable news stories from
the worlds of film TV celebrity science
music and sport this is a team right now
that I’d be terrified of if I’m playing
them because they’re starting to figure
out a way to win games and just in case
one some or all of these come true
here is your spoiler alert you have been
warned
I mean in some sense they’re just scary
projects enter and keep being scary
project number 10 no more World Cup in
Qatar to say Qatar was a controversial
choice would be an understatement as
early as 2011 controversy plagued the
awarding of the 2022 FIFA World Cup to
Qatar the 222 FIFA World Cup is kapa the
country’s bid was actually made much
earlier than that though and the win
would have made Qatar the first Arab
state to host the World Cup however
ongoing investigations into bribery
surrounding the decision along with the
2015 FIFA corruption case and
work-related deaths in 2016 I don’t
think they say them as human all point
to the Middle Eastern country losing the
prestigious honour this year over the
next eight years Qatar is expected to
import another half million migrant
workers number nine movie hits and
misses was then
you must be knew that his first point
it’s set to be a massive year at the
movies and the DC extended universe will
likely rest a lot of attention away from
its Marvel counterparts the likes of
Deadpool and the third installment of
Captain America will obviously fare well
stay out of this one please you only
make this worse but Batman vs Superman
will be the highest-grossing movie of
2016 although we have a sneaking
suspicion that it won’t live up to the
hype Suicide Squad is another that’ll
earn incredible amounts of money
although it’s another in danger of being
a major disappointment I’m just gonna
hurt you really really bad number 8 the
Stanley Cup surprise if you like to lay
a little money on the sports scores and
even if you don’t then here’s what will
happen in American football basketball
and hockey the Carolina Panthers will
win Super Bowl 50 oh my goodness
Carolina has won the football game ESPN
says Cardinals and it is a close call
they are the best the most complete team
to me in the NFL right now but we call
Panthers in the NBA the championship is
headed back to California for a second
year running in the hands of the Golden
State Warriors the biggest shock will
come with the Stanley Cup however where
for the first time since 1993 the
colossal trophy will be won by a
Canadian team that the Canadians have
won the Stanley Cup number seven the
virtual reality backlash oh god I’m not
gonna electrocute myself am i virtual
reality is becoming more accessible by
the day and 2016 will see it enter into
the family home more so than ever before
but for all the groundbreaking
technology there’s sure to be some bone
breaking injuries both types of course
have these lenses that help your eyes
focus on the stereoscopic image that’s
right up against your face which isn’t
great for your eyes by the way but
whatever the idea of VR is brilliant
strap on some goggles glove up and
transport yourself to all manner of
alternative worlds what could
cooller the helmet itself looks straight
out of Daft Punk but inside it’s all
about the oculus but in actual reality
running around your front room in a
high-tech blindfold is sure to end
painfully on occasion if you are lucky
enough to land a VR set this Christmas
then plays safe if I mentioned you
double-oh-seven but a perfect marksman
isn’t really supposed to shoot his own
boss check the replay number 6 Leonardo
DiCaprio will win an Academy Award I’m
not leaving I’m not
he’s been hotly tipped on many an Oscar
night before now but 2016 could finally
be Leonardo DiCaprio’s year previously
nominated as Best Supporting Actor for
1993’s What’s Eating Gilbert Grape
and Best Actor for 2004’s The Aviator
2006 is Blood Diamond and 2013’s the
wolf of Wall Street it could be a case
of 5th time lucky for Leo in 2016 he’s
expected to receive Academy praise for
the epic survival thriller the revenant
the safe thing to do is track a new
course back up online with Eddie
Redmayne and Matt Damon likely to be his
closest rivals it’ll be a narrow win but
one that this guy probably deserves
number five dark matter will become
clearer that’s why in March the LHC is
coming back it’s here to kick butt and
chew bubblegum and it’s all out of
bubblegum the Large Hadron Collider will
continue its work in 2016
racing particles into each other at
monumental speeds and seeing what
happens now
the LHC has rebooted for a second run
it’s colliding particles at higher
energies than ever before
aiming to further our understanding of
fundamental science and physics one of
the machines main purposes is to
investigate the properties of dark
matter a material that seems to account
for a bit more than a quarter of the
mass energy in the entire universe we
really have no clue what dark matter and
energy are or how they work we are
pretty sure they exist them any
discoveries that are made could change
our view of life forever
but the skeptics will always label the
collider as man-made Armageddon waiting
to happen let’s hope the latter holds
off for 2016 at least what about
criticisms that the LHC could have
caused miniature black holes or unstable
particles what someone’s been reading
too much science fiction number four
Google will by Twitter Google needs us
Google wants us 2015 soft Facebook
regain the top spot in the social media
wars with twitter falling behind a
little but don’t expect twitter to
settle for lower particularly as it’s
still one of the most used internet
services in the world what it needs is a
high-profile business merger the likes
of which Facebook is becoming
increasingly famous for and what better
business partner in the internet
industry then Google Google’s 2015
rebranding as Alphabet is a surefire
statement of its multifaceted intent and
that holding company owned school but
also has auto it also has calico and all
the other ambitious loon all the Google
X stuck at it it’s just a matter of time
before Twitter gets on board I think
honestly it’s just there has been this
division for a while between the stuff
at Google that has to do with making
money and the stuff that has to do with
the future of the business in the future
of the world
number three Apple will get even bigger
think of never of imagine it those
pioneers are invented the automobile but
it would possess us like this in our
imaginations dreams staying with tech
Apple shows no sign of loosening its
grip on its many markets and 2016 Apple
products will surely only be bigger
better and bolder than anything else
before that’s why we’re predicting an AI
car of some description electric
self-driving vehicles are inching ever
closer to becoming a widespread reality
so we’re tipping apple to wade into the
race and to win it it is autonomous
self-driving it is also a fuel cell car
but those are almost footnotes the real
story behind this is to get a sample of
how we’ll live differently how society
will change I car will likely be
controllable through your Apple watch
phone or pad and purchasable in a trendy
collection of colors we are pre-empting
a June 2016 release with the super spec
i car 6 plus available by July number
two Donald Trump will win the Republican
nomination but I don’t think it’s going
to happen he’s one of the most
controversial figures in modern politics
and his brazen ideas have captured
attention all over the globe and one
concern about everything I’m concerned
about the country our country is going
to hell I’m concerned about everything
Donald Trump seems to run with the
philosophy that all publicity is good
publicity as he continues to attack and
discredit certain sections of society
you’ve called women you don’t like fat
pigs dogs slobs and disgusting animals
your Twitter account totally Rosie
O’Donnell
his outrageous tactics could get him so
far but those of an anti-trump
persuasion can rest assured as we’re
predicting that he will not make it to
the White House if or when Trump lands
the Republican lead the Democrats can
count on at least one more term and that
kind of crap is not going to work in the
United States of America before we
unveil our number-one pick here are some
honorable mentions
well Schengen is one of the major
achievements of the European Union with
many benefits which you have illustrated
in your report but Schengen is
and a thread for three reasons one is
migration one is terrorism but to me the
biggest reason is that it has become the
tool of populist politics it’s the duty
of the Lord Commander to fill those
pages and there’s still room left in
mind it drove a people crazy and it
didn’t sensually number to eight and
he’s still driving the people crazy such
a number to anyone
you you are the doctor
yep and I always will be
Buc times change and so must I number
one
humans will find life on Mars a desert
like planet apparently dead and not as
interesting as we see it really is in
terms of space travel Mars is the new
moon and NASA is headed there for one of
its most ambitious missions ever in 2016
the insight Lander is being sent to the
Red Planet to study the core of one of
our nearest neighbors in a literal
scratching below the planet’s surface
scientists hope that the trip will
uncover even more significant findings
than 2015’s liquid water discovery and
today’s announcement of a really
fascinating result about current water
on Mars is one of the reasons why I feel
it’s even more imperative that we send
astrobiologists and planetary scientists
to Mars if there is life on Mars then
there is a very real possibility that
humans will make contact with it very
soon we use this in the test bet on
Phoenix so we’re going to it will be
reconfigured for insight insight should
land on Mars in September so watch this
space our instruments today are showing
us a much more dynamic and complex
planet and one that is exciting for a
number of reasons do you agree with our
list it’s me taking no for an answer you
know what do you think will happen every
night you’re a very nice person for more
