I'm 100% certain Iñárritu is gonna be nominated. No way with the movie being this challenging to make they will omit him.
ReplyDeleteWe'll see. I'm not convinced the film will make the top 5, but you could be right.
DeleteSo far, almost all of our Best Actor predictions are the same except instead of Garfield, I have Tom Hiddleston for I Saw The Light. Bridge of Spies, though, I'm not feeling as a viable contender. Sure, it has famous pedigree but the trailers weren't very memorable. LOVE that Inside Out could be up for Best Picture, though!
ReplyDeleteHiddleston could totally get in, and I could easily see Spielberg's latest missing, though I think it's in for the moment. Inside Out should definitely make the cut in Best Picture.
DeleteI can't wait to see Beasts of No Nation, and we won't even need to go to the theater to see it as Netflix will release it on its platform the same day as its theatrical release. I thought Idris was the lead though, but regardless, it looks promising.
ReplyDeleteHeh, I have no desire to see that Steve Jobs movie.
Yeah, I can't wait to see if Beasts delivers. From what little I know, Idris is supporting and a group of kids are the leads, I think.
DeleteOuch. Haha, it's got Fassy and Winslet, so I need to see it!
These look great buddy! I don't know what to do with films like The Revenant, which look so exciting and so great and yet so...unOscary...?
ReplyDeleteThanks man! The Revenant seems like it could get a ton of noms, but it might be too much for Academy voters.
