January 14, 201610 yr I'm missing a bunch still. Lots of work to do at Baxter Avenue Theaters over the next six weeks. ... but to this point, Mad Max is the best I saw this year.
January 14, 201610 yr Author Early odds have Spotlight at even money and The Revenant at 2/1. Leo a guarantee at 1/7. Sly the favorite for his "career" award.
January 14, 201610 yr That's 12 nominations for The Revenant. 14 Nominations: All About Eve (1959) - Won 6 Oscars Titanic (1997) - Won 11 Oscars 13 Nominations: Gone With the Wind (1939) - Won 8 Oscars From Here to Eternity (1953) - Won 8 Oscars Shakespeare in Love (1998) - Won 7 Oscars Forrest Gump (1994) - Won 6 Oscars Chicago (2002) - Won 6 Oscars Mary Poppins (1964) - Won 5 Oscars Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

January 14, 201610 yr Actor in a leading role Leonardo DiCaprio, “The Revenant” Matt Damon, “The Martian” Michael Fassbender, “Steve Jobs” Bryan Cranston, “Trumbo” Eddie Redmayne, “The Danish Girl” The winner, the runner-up, and three other guys (and I'm a Cranston fan). Would love to see Damon win, as I thought his performance was teriffic, but I think Leo has too much momentum to be defeated.
January 14, 201610 yr 13 Nominations: Shakespeare in Love (1998) - Won 7 Oscars How in the hell did that ever happen? 13 nominations and 7 wins???
January 14, 201610 yr Author How in the hell did that ever happen? 13 nominations and 7 wins??? Agreed. I liked it but how it won over Saving Private Ryan I will never understand. I think it had to be some vote splitting between Ryan and The Thin Red Line.
January 14, 201610 yr I saw both Spotlight and Brooklyn. Both really good. Will probably see Big Short in the very near future. I need to see The Martian.
January 14, 201610 yr Almost watched Bridge of spies. Sounds like ""Sir Robin the - not - quite - so - brave - as - Sir Lancelot, who had nearly fought the Dragon of Angnor."
January 14, 201610 yr I'll say The Revenant wins Best Picture. Leo wins Best Actor, although I could see Fassbender getting it. Brie Larson for Best Actress Stallone for Supporting Actor and Rooney Mara for Supporting Actress.
January 14, 201610 yr How in the hell did that ever happen? 13 nominations and 7 wins??? Agreed. I liked it but how it won over Saving Private Ryan I will never understand. I think it had to be some vote splitting between Ryan and The Thin Red Line. Crazy year at the Oscars. Lots of mediocre movies won Best Picture for a pretty long stretch there from the mid-1990s through the early 2000s. I don't know why that was. I'm pretty sure that the 1998 awards show was the same night they gave the Honorary Oscar to Elia Kazan and a bunch of people didn't applaud for him because he'd named names in front of HUAC forty years earlier.

You are correct on all of it. 1995 - Braveheart (Apollo 13 & Sense and Sensibility) 1996 - The English Patient (Fargo, Shine & Jerry Maguire) 1997 - Titanic (Good Will Hunting & LA Confidential) GARBAGE 1998 - Shakespeare in Love (Saving Private Ryan & Life is Beautiful) 1999 - American Beauty (Cider House Rules & The Insider) right choice 2000 - Gladiator (Traffic and Erin Brockovich) 2001 - A Beautiful Mind (LOTR) 2002- Chicago (Gangs of New York, The Pianist, LOTR) 2003 - LOTR: The Return of the King (Lost in Translation, Mystic River, Seabiscuit)
