I haven't seen any of them but the only one that appeals to me is The Revenant. I hope Leo wins. I don't see all of his movies but he IS good and deserves a win.

I see Sly is up for best co-starring role. Haven't seen that yet either but intend to. Wow, his fame began with Rocky and how nice if he gets some acknowledgment with yet another "Rocky" (more or less) film. Who would have guessed. I forgot, was he up for or did he win best actor for Rocky?

Unfortunately not, he was nominated for best actor and best script that year, but lost in both categories.
Rocky did win best movie though..

I hope Sly will win this year..
Would be great if he ended his acceptance speech with:
''Yo Rocky, we did it!!!''

He will win I think, it's a superb performance and it's his 5th nomination, the academy always takes that in consideration even though they say they don't..

Just came back from seeing The Revenant. DiCaprio and Hardy were amazing. Great movie! Hope they along with the Director win.

My takes so far;

Best Picture - Have seen Mad Max, The Martian, and Spotlight so far. Of that group, I hesitantly rate The Martian as #1; they're all top notch and very different from one another.

Actor - Have only seen Damon and Redmayne but hard to see another performance matching Redmayne in The Danish Girl. Like Best Picture, I realize I have to see The Revenant before casting final judgement, but wow...

Actress - Only saw Cate Blanchett so far. Very good.

Supporting Actor - Only saw Ruffalo and Stallone. Stallone is much more deserving.

Supporting Actress - Have seen all but Winslet. Of the other four, Mara and McAdams don't measure up. Really liked Alicia (who had one heck of a year with Danish Girl and Ex Machina among others) but JJL was the absolute best part of the Hateful Eight and deserves the statue here.

Director - Would like to see Miller get the award. He took a lot of chances in the presentation of Mad Max and they all paid off. Only other one I saw in this category was Spotlight, where the directing was definitely solid but straightforward.

Sly is favourite for the Oscar which is a complete joke, he put in a decent performance which in terms of his ability makes it seem like a masterclass. Idris Elba deserved it but he wasn't nominated, so next up i'd give it to Tom Hardy if not anybody but Sly. It is a travesty that one of the worst actors ever will get an award before so many greats.

Haaven't seen Brooklyn or Room from the best picture nominees, i do want Leo, Innaritu and The Revenant to take their respective awards though.

The only other one i have seen enough of the nominees for is the Animated Feature having seen them all except Boy and the World
. I'd give it to Anomalisa easily, fantastic film my joint favourite from last year. If not then When Marnie Was There. Think Inside Out will win which i am fine with winning since i think it is great too even though i think those other two are more deserving.

It's not for everyone, and I wouldn't award it best picture. But it was incredibly stylish and told its story through pure action, which is a novel concept. I think the Best Director award should go to the director who takes the most chances in presenting the movie and succeeds with those chances. Too often, it merely goes to the director of the Best Picture.

ETA - It is now on regular rotation on HBO.

Looks like another year of Bullshit.

Creed was well done, Leo's flick looks good, the other stuff is crap.

Mad Max and The Martian were good but it's gotta go to The Revenant. And DiCaprio deserves best actor, Hardy best supporting actor (though Stallone deserves it too), and Innaritu best director.

Agree. Stallone is proably being considered because he played a different role than his usual Rocky and Rambo. IMO he's just terrible. Besides, how can he compare with his competition, specifically Christian Bale, Tom Hardy and Mark Ruffalo?

Did you guys even see the movie? Stallone did an incredible job. They didn't give him the Golden Globe for nothing.

He's not a serious actor he's like an action figure, like Arnold. He also failed to thank the writer-director of “Creed,” Ryan Coogler, or Michael B. Jordan, the star of “Creed.”

Stallone doesn't need to be the most versatile actor in the world to be considered for one award in one year. Even if you consider him a one role guy, if he knocks it out of the park, that's all that matters.

Again, he didn't win the Golden Globe and wasn't nominated for an Oscar because he doesn't deserve it.

I go out tonight with some people. One of them started to talk about him in creed. He said Stallone was very good in it. He also said something I did not know about Stallone. He was born with a ailment that caused his speech to slurr. I never knew that.

I will see his last movie on Rambo that will be comming out. In it he will be fighting Mexican heroin dealers. I can't miss this one let him kill every Mexican heroin dealer before they kill him. I like the idea of that.

I think Best Actor will be Leo or Redmayne, I hope Leo wins he deserves it but Redmayne has a good chance due to politics and the current trans "obsession" in US. I am glad to see Fassbender and Cranston were nominated, Fassbenser being one of my favorite actors out now and Cranston is just a phenomenal actor if you look at his career this guy has range.

Spike Lee and Jada Pinkett Smith will be boycotting the Academy Awards for being "Too White?" I guess they will not be voting on the Democratic Primary.

How did Denzel get his two oscars? How did we elect a black president if white people are so prejudiced. I wonder if he will show up for the oscar?

I want to spare myself the bullshit of people complaining on how racists the oscars are so I won't bother to watch it.

I stand corrected:

There have been 14 black actors and actresses who have won Academy Awards in the four major acting categories since the awards began 88 years ago. Since their establishment in 2001, the BET Awards have featured a handful of white nominees like Eminem (nominated 6 times, won once), Justin Timberlake (nominated 8 times), Robin Thicke (nominated three times), Macklemore (nominated 5 times, won once) and Sam Smith, who won but didn’t show up because he assumed a white person wouldn’t win. The struggle continues.
