2016 OSCAR PREDICTIONS FOR 2015 FILMS



OK, I have seen all eight best picture nominees and a few other titles but not all.  There are very likely surprises in a couple major categories.  Enjoy!

PICTURE-3 way race among The Revenant, The Big Short, and Spotlight- Momentum and timing are everything so The Revenant by a snowflake-hoping for Spotlight.                              

ACTOR-Leonardo DiCaprio in The Revenant

ACTRESS-Brie Larson in Room

SUPPORTING ACTOR-Sylvester Stallone in Creed but I loved Mark Rylance in Bridge of Spies.    

SUPPORTING ACTRESS-A good year for Alicia Vikander in The Danish Girl (The Man from UNCLE and Ex Machina) although Kate Winslet in Steve Jobs is a possibility.

DIRECTOR-Alejandro G. Iñárritu for The Revenant over deserved George Miller for Mad Max:Fury Road.

ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY-Spotlght

ADAPTED SCREENPLAY-The Big Short

ANIMATED FEATURE-Inside Out

FILM EDITING-Mad Max:Fury Road

CINEMATOGRAPHY-The Revenant 

PRODUCTION DESIGN-Max Mad:Fury Road

ORIGINAL SCORE-The Hateful Eight

ORIGINAL SONG-Til It Happens To You from The Hunting Ground

SOUND EDITING-Mad Max:Fury Road                                             

SOUND MIXING- Mad Max:Fury Road                                             

COSTUME DESIGN-Cinderella

MAKEUP & HAIRSTYLING- Mad Max:Fury Road                                              

VISUAL EFFECTS-Star Wars:The Force Awakens but a sweep by Mad Max:Fury Road might happen

FOREIGN LANGUAGE FILM-Son of Saul                                                                                           

DOCUMENTARY FEATURE-Amy

Various SHORTS-who cares?

Figure Mad Max will get a ton of Tech awards, some very good films may be shutout like The Martian, Bridge of Spies, Brooklyn, and Carol.
