Nice to see Sly get a nod for Creed. He was amazing in that movie.

[Hanky Panky]

Agreed. He won a Golden Globe for Supporting Actor, so the odds could be in his favor.

And how about 9 Academy Award nods for Mad Max!!! WOW!!!

Here are my pics for some of the winners...

Every year, I make a goal of seeing every movie nominated in every category. This year, I may make an exception and skip Fifty Shades of Grey. Ugh.

[ParisDean]

Interesting that the top rated film on Metacritic, Carol (95/100), did not get a nomination for best picture.

[SONICobra]

I really hope mad max pulls in some wins, best picture and director would be awesome

Movies like Mad Max don't win Best Picture.... but hot damn would it get my vote! George Miller has a legitimate shot at Director though.

[Hanky Panky]

Out of 9 nominations, I'm sure Max will get some recognition for f/x.

Odds on favorite will be The Reverent for Picture and Director --it's groundbreaking and a step UP from Inarritu's Birdman from last year (which he also won).

[Bullseye]

Amazed Jennifer L got nominated certainly not deserved. Cate B is my pick for Carol (although the movie itself was meh for me) or Olson from Room.

She won a Golden Globe for Best Actress in Joy last week, so her chances are REALLY good to win an Oscar.
