Oscar Prediction Thread (2016)

The Identity Matrix · 01-14-2016, 09:50 AM

Hey I don't know if anyone here actually cares about the Oscars but they released the Nominations.

Spoiler for Nominations:

Would love to see what everyone is predicting to win. I still have a few more I need to see so I'll post mine closer to the 28th.

Positive that The Revanent will at least rake in the cinematography award, most likely best pic too. I've seen very few of these though since I'm too broke to afford the cinema and my computer is too slow to stream or torrent whole films.

The Academy is finally going to give Leo his statue.

I kind of hoped they would put Star Wars for Best Picture just to get people to watch the award show but it seems they used Mad Max instead. I haven't seen it though so if it actually is good, which I will see this weekend, then I hope it gets George Miller the Oscar for Best Director.

Yeah, I've only seen 3-4 movies on that list.
But that reminds me:
Anyone else thinks that "Writing's on the Wall", the song from Spectre, is cringe-inducingly terrible? Talk about bad lyrics. Not that the music itself is any better.

Oh I hated that song. I don't really care about that award though since most songs for movies are not really that great.

Plus when the soundtrack is phenomenal it gets passed over for a pop ditty.

Dunno. The other contenders don't seem that strong, but still...

BTW, you owe me 25 bucks.

I hope he gets it, but I wouldn't be at all surprised if he didn't.

Right now I would give DiCaprio the edge over the rest of them but Fassbender of Redmayne might rip it from him.
