Oscars

[arbnranger]

Any favorites ? 

I Would like for Leo to finally win . 

His performance in The Revenenant is with out a doubt Oscar worthy imo.

Like to see Hateful 8 as best picture or The Revenenant . Hard choice. 

Let's hear your favorites .   

@thomas96 I know you got some good picks man.

Hateful 8 isn't nominated for Best Picture.

 

Leo is going to win, all but confirmed from betting lines and yada yada.  More of a career award though to me, though I did really like the Revenant.

I think Mad Max wins a lot of the smaller categories, the Revenant will do well too. Guesses though for the big ones...

Male Leading - Leo

Female Leading - Brie Larson

Picture - The Revenant, with the Big Short as the dark horse

All I've seen has been The hateful eight and the revenentant. If Leo wins it will be for past roles, because if grunting, breathing hard, and getting attacked by a bear wins? Then there are some gay pornos that should get noms....

[Jangler]

Of course we know Star Wars should win everything it was nominated for.

I think it is really interesting how this year there are three films with legit chances to win.  Usually you have the favorite and the one dark horse that is more the anti-favorite.

I actually really enjoyed the films this year after not really being impressed with much of anything in '13 and '14.

To me The Revenant was the best but I would not be upset if Spotlight won, both were great.  Mad Max: Fury Road and The Big Short would have been my choices had they come out either of the past two years, but not this one.

Leo needs to win and I would vote for Mark Rylance (Bridge of Spies) and Sairose Ronan (Brooklyn) but I am pretty sure Stallone and Larsen win.  No problem with the latter but I am disappointed that Stallone will beat better performances.  He really is fifth best in that category, Steve Carrell should be there in his spot.

The no doubter to me is Emmanuel Lubezki (The Revenant) for Best Cinematography.  That was just brilliant.

Oh yeah, I did see Mad Max....just surprised by that movie altogether, really didn't like it at all.

I remember going to see it, and from start to finish, not realizing exactly what was happening or what I was watching. But I enjoyed it if that makes any sense. As something to watch, I thought it was awesome. As a full blown great movie, mehhhh.
