Oscar Nominees: 2016





Well, the Oscar nominations were announced yesterday morning (at the time I am writing this.)
There were a lot of surprises, so let's not waste any more time and get right to it.

Let's start with Best Animated Feature. Now, when I was predicting it, I thought that the nominees would be Inside Out, Shawn the Sheep, Peanuts, The Good Dinosaur, and Anamolisa. But, I only ended up being right on three of them. Inside Out, Shawn the Sheep and Anamolisa. The other nominations, I did not think were going to make it. Boy & the World and When Marnie Was There I did not think were going to make it. I guess I couldn't be too surprised on Marnie because it is Studio Gibli and the Academy loves them. They even gave the award to them for Spirited Away in 2003. As for who is going to win, it's easily going to be Inside Out.
Best Director: I am surprised that Ridley Scott was not nominated for The Martian. When it won Best Picture Musical or Comedy at the Golden Globes last Sunday, I thought it was a shoe-in to win Best Picture. Now it looks like it's not, because usually when the director is not nominated, the film usually does not win Best Picture. It could happen, and it has happened...but only 4 times in history. The most recent to do so were Driving Miss Daisy (1990) and Argo (2013) respectively. So I predict that we will have to wait at least another 23 years before we see it happen again. So, in short, The Martian is probably not going to win Best Picture. As for who is going to win Best Director, I predict Alejandro G. Iñárritu but Tom McCarthey being a possible upset, because the academy might have a problem with giving it to the same person two years in a row.
Best Picture: There are 8 nominations this year. As you may know, the nominations for Best Picture can range anywhere from 5-10 movies. There are a couple of movies that got left out due to there being only 8. The movies that could have made the list but did not are include but is not limited to: Star Wars, even though it got several technical award nominations and best score for John Williams, Carol, even though it managed to get two acting nominations for Cate Blanchett and Ronney Mara, Straight Outta Compton even though it did get a best original screen play nomination, and Inside Out (I am disappointed on this one) but as mentioned earlier it did get a best Animated Feature nomination and a best Original Screen Play nomination. As for who is going to win best picture I predict The Revenant. As for best actor it's Leo's year finally! With Matt Damon being a possible upset.

Goodnight and Bee Happy!™
