2016 Academy Awards/Oscars - Nominees Announced Today - February 28th

[kvsm23vs24]

What did MBJ do that was so worth of a nomination?

Now Sam L on the other hand...
No QT for best ORIGINAL screenplay jeez

 

[HankHill]

Hardy's character annoyed me. Not the acting, but the actual character. The whole movie looked like you were watching an Uncharted cut-scene. That CGI bear should get a nom.

 

[Fong$tarr]

No QT for best ORIGINAL screenplay jeez

I am really surprised in that too.

How did Straight Out Of Compton get a nod for original screenplay when it was technically a biopic?


I am really surprised in seeing Mad Max doing that well. I mean I liked it but I didn't think it was the best movie ever.

 

[mynameaintg]

no Hateful Eight, no Sam Jackson, no Steve Carell (who was better than Bale).

My Picks

Best Picture : Mad Max

Best Director :Adam McKay

Best Actor: Leo

Best Actress:: Undecided still need to watch Carol

Best Supporting Actor: SLY, i would've liked steve carrell to atleast get nominated though

Best Supporting Actress: Jennifer Jason Leigh

Best Animated Feature Film: Anomalisa even though I still need to watch, I just feel like Inside out was not the best it could be from pixar and that particular director

Score: Ennio Morricone – The Hateful Eight

Cinematography: The Revnant

Not every category is who i want to win, but I think this is how the acedemy will do it.

Because it was still an original screenplay.. it didn't come from a biography about N.W.A. or a previous source. Just because it's a biopic doesn't mean it has to be considered an adapted screenplay, it has to be adapted from another source.

 

[Clyde Frog]

Might be kinda unpopular opinion, alot of people I talked to didnt enjoy Mad Max nearly as much as I did but I think it was the best movie of the year.

I think it should win cinematography, best visual effects, sound mixing, film editing, production design as well on top of best picture.

Leo and Hardy for Best lead and supporting actor is easy money this year. Leo finally did it. The noms are a cakewalk for him.

 

[kvsm23vs24]

Huge Hardy fan, but I don't think he deserves it over the other candidates.

Eddie Redmayne going to win on pure politics.

 

[Hahahaha]

I still haven't seen The Revenant, Spotlight or The Martian so I can't really comment on who should win.


I didn't like The Big Short. It reminded me a lot of "American Hustle" and I hated that movie.


Stallone being nominated for anything is comical.

 

[nomnom]

Happy that Saiorse Ronan and Brooklyn were nominated

 

[bostoiah]

What's with all the Stallone hate? Is it because he has a bad reputation as an actor? If y'all watched creed you would know this is a deserving nomination. Dude should be the front runner to win tbh

 

[eracism]

All them movies are for White people.

 

[Fong$tarr]

All them movies are for White people.

I just read this too.

[HankHill]

Nothing stood out to me from Stallone in Creed. It just felt like an extended cameo to be honest. The movie overall was enjoyable.

Same with Mad Max. I enjoyed it for what it was, but can't say it was the best. It was just a cyber punk version of Death Proof with a guy playing guitar with a flamethrower.

 

[sea manup]

 
Am I the only one surprised that Star Wars didn't get nominated for costume design?

star wars should have won costume design

 

[stuntman mike]

stallone DOES NOT deserve a nomination. he might have been the best actor in that movie but that says nothing.
idris elba's performance in beasts>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>stallone's in creed

 

[sea manup]

you may not have liked mad max as much as others but it is a technically perfect movie

it's amazing in every aspect of filmmaking

I guess that can be said about Avatar. Not a the best movie ever but it had all elements of a good movie. I am still shocked it lost to Hurtlocker. Hurtlocker was a good film but Avatar just seemed like the sure winner.

 

[cashbanks]

If you want a good laugh check out the #oscarssowhite hashtag on facebook **** is comedy, some white people are so oblivious it's crazy.

 

[Deleted member 37467]

People really liked Avatar like that?

I thought that movie was cheeks but I don't really remember how other people felt back when it came out.

avatar was more of a gimmick with the 3D and cgi

from a story telling/world building perspective it doesnt come close to mad max

Eddie Redmayne going to win on pure politics.

nah, they already covered that base with Jared Leto (deservedly so) 2 years ago 

also would you guys be in favor of them increasing the number of nominees when necessary in the acting categories like they do with Best Picture?

 

[shogun]

I liked avatar a lot. Even have the blu-ray.

does it matter?

that's just going to add 2-3 people who have no chance at winning

fassbender got this though
