2015 was a fantastic year for both smaller indie films and massive blockbusters. I think for the most part the Academy got the nominees right and I have very few complaints. There are a few snubs in each category but hey, who cares. That’s bound to happen every year. These are my predictions/hopes for who will win in each category this year.
Major snubs:
Beasts of No Nation for Best Picture, Cinematography and Leading Actor (Idris Elba)
Steve Jobs for Best Adapted Screenplay
The Hateful Eight for Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Supporting Actor (Walton Goggins)
Sicario for Best Supporting Actor (Benicio Del Toro)
Brookyln for Best Supporting Actor (Emory Cohen)
