Because they don't have a category to award movies that clearly fall strictly in the action/sci-fi category. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, Gosling is probably the lead of the movie, and Carell is a strong supporting character. The category is as stretched thin as possible this year, so that's why he's there. It is blatantly a supporting role though. I think Gosling's narration may make him seem like a bigger presence, but Carell easily has the most screentime. There's not one character it's really "more" about though. It's like Spotlight, except this time one of them has enough screentime to fly as lead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What Like The Departed, The Big Short has a bunch of famous faces that figure prominently (some much more so than others) but it could be debated who the real lead is. Also: who the hell you calling traitor? Go wank off to episodes to that flop second season of True Detective or whatever. LOL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Star Wars you can at least understand because Disney didn't screen it. While we're at it, Visual Effects shortlist: Ant-Man Age of Ultron Ex Machina Jurassic World Mad Max The Martian The Revenant Star Wars Tomorrowland The Walk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blankments Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Mel Gibson is totally just there to introduce the Mad Max montage, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MovieMan89 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Don't get the Schumer love at all. I'd take any of them winning over her, even Smith for what is probably a "I just showed up and made a movie" performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt Ant Man would either. It could conceivably be any combo of the other 8 though. I'd say: TFA Martian MM JW The Walk or The Revenant (should be The Walk, but Revenant's big awards player status could maybe give it an edge) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jennifer is old news unfortunately. I think we need to consider Maggie Smith too. She's supposedly attending, and I doubt she'd actually be attending unless she was confident (or the HFPA assured her) of a win. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The latter has very vanilla effects. I'm not expecting JW since Pacific Rim and Godzilla didn't make it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MovieMan89 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 San Andreas should at least be on the shortlist, if not nominated. I have never seen a disaster movie with such epic and amazing destruction effects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
