Congratulations to all of this year's nominees. Very interesting selections! Much love for The Revenant, Mad Max: Fury Road, and Carol. I am very excited to see two solid sci-fi movies as Best Picture nominees - The Martian and Mad Max: Fury Road. I'm also happy to see Cartel Land and The Look of Silence nominated for Best Documentary, both are outstanding docs. As I have been predicting, it's a battle between Emmanuel "Chivo" Lubezki and Roger Deakins for the Best Cinematography award. The two going head-to-head again. There's quite a few films missing from various categories, but that's always expected. I'm also surprised and relieved to see Brooklyn earning so many nominations, such an adorable film. Best of all - Mad Max: Fury Road is everywhere! There's going to be plenty of discussion about these picks this year. What do you think?

Fell sort of my goal by only seeing seven of the eight Best Picture nominees before they were announced. Stupid Brooklyn messed it up as I was expecting Carol to get a nomination instead.

Was expecting Carol too tbh, but Brooklyn was so much better imo. =)

I'm at the theater now with a showing starting in 10 minutes. I thought Carol was just ok so hopefully Brooklyn is better like you both think.

It was very good. Much better than Carol. I do want to point out that saying "stupid" in the context that I did was referring to the fact that it messed up what I thought would be a perfect record of seeing all of the Best Picture nominees.

Where does is say that? Regardless, it's still a futuristic post apocalypse, so I can go with that.

in the bottom paragraph Alex wrote a comment how pleased he was that two sci fi's are nominated for best pic. I would ADORE if Fury Road took home the grand prize on Feb 28th

ah yes missed that, sry. but like i said, think it still makes sense. =) It would be incredible if it won!

In general I think if it can be qualified as "post-apocalyptic" it qualifies as sci-fi. Fury road definitely floats in a weird genre though.

I agree. I wouldnt really count the walking dead as sci-fi, but I think zombie movies are their own genre also, lol.

I was hoping Ex Machina would get more love, but I totally understand why it didn't. Also Im gonna be that guy, I'm really pulling for Roger Deakins to get the best Cinematography nod over Lubezki this year.

Same. Was hoping for more love for Sicario, so definitely hoping for one for Deakins now.

Definitely on the same page with Sicario. It was my favorite picture of 2015. I get that its not the type of movie to get a picture of the year nom but damn it was good.

As much as I love John Williams, I think nomination for TFA score is just silly...

Not enough love for Steve Carell in The Big Short, thought he was better than Bale.

Best sound mix for TFA? Are they kidding? The mix has zero umph. Saw it twice at the arclight here in Hollywood and they have a good sound system. It just wasn't impressive to my ears. The pod race in EP1 was mixed better.

Yeah Creed sounded better at the cinema that I went to lol. The sound mixing in that was phenomenal.
TK on Jan 14, 2016

I haven't seen all the nominated pictures, but I think TFA is one of the best movies I've ever seen. I enjoyed it much more than Mad Max, which to me is a well done chase western with great stunts. I do agree with Sascha about the sound mix, though. I'm happy with Cranston's nom. My ex-wife discovered him on a JC Penny commercial back in the 90's! He's come a long way...

Hell yeah, if Stallone gets the win, it will be so gratifying.
DAVIDPD on Jan 14, 2016

Yeah that would make my day. I did think Creed should have been in there for sound editing instead of TFA and Original song instead of Spectre.

I'm hoping Miller wins Director, DiCaprio finally gets his oscar, Stallone wins a well deserved best supporting actor, Blanchett gets a nod for the amazing Carol, Shaun the Sheep was awesome lol, Ex Machina for original screenplay, The Revenant for cinematography, anything but TFA for original score and that Mad Max wins all the SFX categories :). Just my 2cents.

I'm rooting for Brie Larson and Room for best picture and adapted screenplay. Definitely my favorite movie of the year. I want Sicario to win something as well, best score and cinematography. George Miller for directing (his work in Mad Max was truly spectacular, even if the movie isn't as good as some people seem to believe). Winter on Fire: Ukraine's Fight for Freedom is amazing and deserves best doc.

I hope The Revenant will win Best Picture,also i hope Lubezki will win best cinematography,Leo best actor...and Inarritu best director...much love for the Revenant,and regardless of what some will say...it really deserves all the love it gets.The Revenant is in my opinion a fantastic movie/cinematic experience! Kudos to the cast and crew for bringing us such an incredible movie!
