Man, I have a couple of friends that absolutely LOATHED Mad Max and could not stop shit talking it like fucking crazy. The rubbing in the face of the massive list of nominations and awards Mad Max has gotten this award season is truly spectacular, and it just got so much better.

Solid nominees and super happy about Mad Max getting so much recognition!
Wish Oscar Isaac would've gotten a nom for Ex Machina, but that category is probably the most stacked this year.
Also think The Revenant could've gotten a nom for soundtrack but oh well it wouldn't have won anyways.
Looking forward to the awards this year, very few categories seem to be a sure thing, so it should be pretty exciting!

Seriously? I'm surprised it got nominated for best editing as its spotty in parts.

No Michael Shannon for 99 Homes? Bullshit
Yeah, that's a big snub. One of the most beautiful and touching films I saw last year. Have to admit I didn't see most of the Best Picture nominies yet, as they still have to come out in Belgium (most of them in the coming weeks), but I imagine Carol being better then most of them.
I'm not. As enjoyable as The Force Awakens was there are a good number of films that were better then it in pretty much every category. It wasn't the stand out in regard to anything other then how much money it made.

That alone is something to be proud of.
While I don't think it takes best picture I would really like to see George get best director.

Just heard on the news The Revenant got 12? Can't find a list online yet so can't confirm.

If you're basing how good a year it has been for film on Oscar nominations then every year is a pretty meh year.
Won or lost?

Fuck Yes Fury Road
Out of this year, quite possibly.
As for all time, for example Ben Hur was nominated for 12, and it won 11.
Think so to. And its not even his best role. Still really good but not his best.
But he deserves one after all this time.
Harvey is already in the process of eating his entire campaign team. He has to be FUMING right now.
Charles Foster Kane
Rosebud
Glad Fury Road didn't get ignored
I'm not talking about all time, obviously.
Anyways, Revenant is actually leading with 12 noms.

You're completely right though but given Keaton's role within the film, especially early on, I would argue that he's the lead. Especially as the others got supporting nominations.

Why the fuck isn't The Hateful Eight anywhere? Not even in the screenplay department? Fucking dumb shits.

said everyone, every year.
Nope, it's for winning, not being nominated. Even if he wins, he's still one off from the EGOT.
Glad to see Mad Max and Ex Machina get some love, and I still need to watch When Marnie Was There.
I saw it Monday. It was pretty good. I would probably just have it on the outside myself but I'm shocked it didn't get in since the Academy loves those films.

Two Innaritu films in a row winning Best Picture? Doubt it.

How did Tarantino not get nominated for original screenplay and Carol not for best picture? Madness

any year with Mad Max nominated is a good year
it would have been better with Carol, tho
It was completely mediocre. Forgettable Williams stuff, like most everything he has done in the last ten years. He only got a nom because of who he is and cuz Star Wars. I haven't seen Hateful 8, but I would guess they'll give it to Morriconne as a lifetime award, even though he already got one lolz.
Maybe not. Larson had the best performance out of everyone in that Category, but that's not always what the voters go for.
2009 with avatar and the hurt locker is worse. That was a terrible year and not just for best picture.
Ridley Scott being snubbed was the big shocker.

Looking through all the nominations really cements what a subpar year this was.
Any film that wins this year will be better than Crash winning.
