How are Mara and Vikander not in the lead category? 

 

At least JLaw got in. I am super happy.

The Carol snub is the biggest surprise for me.

[#ED]

Some BP nominations had either 1 or zero other nominations. Whatever.

 

The Revenant appears to be a favorite.

[MovieMan89]

Carol pretty much shut out. Harvey got lazy this year.

[Ash Skywalker]

Best Actor:

Bryan 
Matt 
Leo
Fass
Eddie

Kinda pissed that Inside Out didn't get a best picture nod. Best movie of the year, along with Mad Max.

God damn it. I got excited for a second there and thought it said 'Boy and the Beast'.

 No carol in BP I can't even. And no Haynes in directing. And they say with was the year of the gays. Lesbiophobia is still alive and real in the academy.

Well Room is the best surprise for me. It's too bad Tremblay couldn't have gotten in. Happy Max did what it should have. Huge achievement for it. Bridge of Spies and Brooklyn are such boring BP fillers. So many better choices they could have gone with, but not surprising.
