Did Inarritu win the globe last year? They may be playing catch up for it.
Anyways, I wouldn't be surprised if the only mirrored wins at the Oscars were Hateful Eight and Inside Out.
I love GOT but it didn't deserve to win for season 5. Not really the TV shows fault, they did the best they could to speed through the worst two books of the series.
As much as he should have, I don't think he intentionally left them out. He probably wasn't expecting to win and was coming up with a speech on the dime.
He might get in, he might not. Rylance is the only locked nomination for supporting.
People use the term locked to loosely.
He definitely got more likely after that win.
