The 2016 Oscar nominations are in and it could be Leo’s year!
Just as the Golden Globes have come to close, the buzz for the Oscars is beginning to generate with the 2016 nominees being released. While the Globes and Oscars are not directly correlated, there are many areas where the two award shows do meet.
With “The Revenant” winning big this year already, I’m sure that we can expect much of the same at the Academy Awards. I wouldn’t expect “The Martian” to make waves at the Oscars like it did at the Golden Globes due to it not being able to play it safe in the comedy genre. But I agree with the masses that this year will be the year of Leonardo DiCaprio.
For more of our predictions, check out our latest episode of the FadCast to hear how the Golden Globes could be a strong predictor for Oscar winners and our picks for who will take home an award.

Performance by an actor in a leading role
Michael Fassbender in “Steve Jobs”
(Calling it. DiCaprio will go home empty-handed again.)
Performance by an actor in a supporting role
Sylvester Stallone in “Creed”
(Don't know why, but I believe the Academy is going to go with the "popular choice" instead of giving it to Ruffalo.)
Performance by an actress in a leading role
Brie Larson in “Room”
(While I'm still a little unsure about whether they'll drench Jennifer Lawrence with more praise, I'm fairly sure there will be an outrage if Brie Larson doesn't take this one home. From me, at least.)
Performance by an actress in a supporting role
Kate Winslet in “Steve Jobs”
(Just cause she was that good. It's between her and Mara.)
Best animated feature film of the year
“Inside Out” Pete Docter and Jonas Rivera
(Picking this one because it's the only one I saw.)
Achievement in cinematography
“The Revenant” Emmanuel Lubezki
(Mad Max should give "The Revenant" a run for it's money, but there's no doubt Emmanuel did the best job this year.)
Achievement in costume design
“Mad Max: Fury Road” Jenny Beavan
(I didn't like Mad Max that much, and "Cinderella" would be the second best year, but the costumes and artistic design of Fury Road were brilliant.)
Achievement in directing
“Spotlight” Tom McCarthy
(Just because of all the problems that were reported during the making of "The Revenant," I don't believe the Academy will give Iñárritu the statue two years in a row.)
Best documentary feature
“Winter on Fire: Ukraine’s Fight for Freedom” Evgeny Afineevsky and Den Tolmor
(Didn't see any of these, so I'm choosing the one I've heard the most about.)
Best documentary short subject
“A Girl in the River: The Price of Forgiveness” Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy
(Same with this one.)
Achievement in film editing
“Star Wars: The Force Awakens” Maryann Brandon and Mary Jo Markey
(I think the Academy will give "Star Wars" a good nod because many people wanted to see itin the best picture category. Since they won't get that, having "Star Wars" called out multiple times throughout the night will suffice.)
Best foreign language film of the year
“Son of Saul” Hungary
(It's just going to happen.)
Achievement in makeup and hairstyling
“Mad Max: Fury Road” Lesley Vanderwalt, Elka Wardega and Damian Martin
(If it doesn't win for costumes, "Mad Max" will win for this.)
Achievement in music written for motion pictures (Original score)
“The Hateful Eight” Ennio Morricone
(Got to go with the genius and master.)
Achievement in music written for motion pictures (Original song)
“Til It Happens To You” from “The Hunting Ground”
Music and Lyric by Diane Warren and Lady Gaga
Best motion picture of the year
“Spotlight” Michael Sugar, Steve Golin, Nicole Rocklin and Blye Pagon Faust, Producers
(While all eyes are pointing towards "The Revenant" and all of its critical appeal, I say "Spotlight" takes the cake and stirs the upset, being dubbed the film that beat "Revenant.")
Achievement in production design
“The Revenant” Production Design: Jack Fisk; Set Decoration: Hamish Purdy
("Mad Max" should win this, but I have a gut-feeling that "Revenant" will take it away, which is perfectly legitimate.)
Best animated short film
“Bear Story” Gabriel Osorio and Pato Escala
(I have no idea, so picking the one that I've heard of.)
Best live action short film
“Ave Maria” Basil Khalil and Eric Dupont
(Same here.)
Achievement in sound editing
“Star Wars: The Force Awakens” Matthew Wood and David Acord
(Strip away the hype, the glamour, the money, and the fame and you get one hell of a production by this sound team.)
Achievement in sound mixing
“Star Wars: The Force Awakens” Andy Nelson, Christopher Scarabosio and Stuart Wilson
(Same here)
Achievement in visual effects
“Star Wars: The Force Awakens” Roger Guyett, Patrick Tubach, Neal Scanlan and Chris Corbould
(It's between this and "Ex Machina," but I believe the Academy will go with the more popular pick to satisfy the people (and kids) at home.)
Adapted screenplay
“Room” Screenplay by Emma Donoghue
(Anyone who can take a book about a woman and her child being held captive in a room and turn it into a compelling/visual screenplay should win the statue. And with Aaron Sorkin and "Steve Jobs" out of the picture, this is almost a shoe-in.)
Original screenplay
“Spotlight” Written by Josh Singer & Tom McCarthy
(I could be wrong about "Spotlight" winning Best Picture, but it surely has the best script this year.)
"“Inside Out” Pete Docter and Jonas Rivera
(Picking this one because it's the only one I saw.)"
Well that's not too different compared to how the other Academy members vote when it comes to Best Animated Film.
