  1. Birdman seemed close to a lock too. Right now I'm thinking MMFR is #1 and Spotlight #2. Great action movies have been rewarded here before (The Matrix, The Bourne Ultimatum), and the editing in Fury Road is pretty undeniable.
  2. Just throw a bunch of money at Gareth Evans, hell, make it a crossover with The Raid too.
  3. "Rated R for strong frontier combat and violence including gory images, a sexual assault, language and brief nudity". So they finished it, I guess.
  4. Carol Cinderella Crimson Peak The Revenant The Danish Girl
  5. Sicario Spotlight Steve Jobs The Revenant Mad Max: Fury Road
  6. Carol Cinderella Suffragette The Danish Girl The Hateful Eight Could see - The Revenant, Star Wars, Crimson Peak, Far from the Madding Crowd
  7. The most chilling found footage horror film ever made.
  8. Happy for Hamm, but still, one acting Emmy for Mad Men in eight years - ONE - is fucking ludicrous.
  9. If Vikander and Mara are both in supporting, then between them (and Jennifer Jason Leigh, Winslet, HBC, Virginia Madsen and whoever else has a shot at a nom there) that category might end up being more interesting than this one. I don't even know the last time that was the case. Then again, if that opens up a spot for Charlize Theron here, then I'm all for it.
  10. I'd predict Lubezki for the win, but I do think having just won twice in two years will keep him from being a sure thing. Wouldn't be shocked to see Richardson take home another one, or even Seale - I think people are underestimating Fury Road's chances across the board, and this wouldn't be a hard Oscar to give it considering it's such a showy, self-evidently great piece of work, and Seale is a respected veteran.
  11. Edward Lachmann - Carol John Seale - Mad Max: Fury Road Emmanuel Lubezki - The Revenant Robert Richardson - The Hateful Eight Roger Deakins - Sicario / Hoyte van Hoytema - Spectre
  12. Yeah, like Nicholson, Hanks doesn't need an "iconic" performance to win again, just a showy and appealing one in a hit movie. That and light competition.
  13. The storyline could work if this were a big stylized melodrama, but Reitman's style has always been too low-key and detached for that. He was wrong for this from day one.
  14. Beasts will get a theatrical release so it's going for the Oscars.
  15. Beasts of No Nation Carol The Danish Girl The Hateful Eight Inside Out Joy Mad Max: Fury Road The Revenant Steve Jobs
  16. So what I'm getting out of this is that missing 3 weeks and 3 SOTMs (I think) might have cost me a Top 10 finish. Not gonna be so careless next year.
