Academy Awards Nominations 2016

[NorthStar]

Inside Out - Best Animated Film .. Right on! ...We all knew about that one...no big surprise here.

That was truly a good "heart" message animation picture.

 

[NorthStar]

Best Documentary: Amy - Awesome, I recommended it highly before.

...Very happy...Congrats! ...And I still recommend it, along with the other nominees.

 

[Joe Whip]

I must be in the minority but I really didn't like Mad Max at all.

 

[Steve Williams]

Me too

Hated the story. Yet the sound and editing and costumes were definitely deserving of all the wins

The big ones are coming up.

 

[Joe Whip]

Saw it on a plane so the sound and picture didn't make an impression. The story was one nonstop plotless mess. Kudos btw to Lady Gaga. Best thing she has ever done.

 

[Steve Williams]

Her song gave me goose bumps

 

[still-one]

What a incredible performance by Lady Gaga. That was even more moving than the video.

 

[NorthStar]

Ennio Morricone - Best Musical Score ... 'The Hateful Eight'. ...Awesome!

* Yes, Lady Gaga...she's good. ...And that cause is just.

It's strange...Mad Max is slowing down now, after winning six statuettes.
...But that guy for Short Documentary, the Oscar announcer...he did say Mad Max.

 

[Joe Whip]

I am sorry but the Gaga song blew away all of the rest. Epic fail there by the Academy. No one will remember any of the others.

 

[NorthStar]

I must be in the minority but I really didn't like Mad Max at all.

You are indeed in the minority, Joe.

Mad Max is the favorite of @ least two billion people! ...Me included.

They must not have heard the songs they voted on. I like Sam Smith but his song for Spectre was terrible.

 

[NorthStar]

Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu - two years in a row, wow! ...Birdman (last year) and The Revenant (now).

Congrats! ...That's big, that's a big one...awesome!

Mad Max is the favorite of @ least two billion people! ...Me included.

It wouldn't be the first time!

 

[NorthStar]

The Beatles' song for in memory of the cinema people who died in 2015-16 was the best song.

 

[NorthStar]

It wouldn't be the first time!

It's ok Joe; films are very subjective...like music. We all love some films and some music more than others...that's what makes a beautiful human race on a beautiful blue planet.

But don't forget, 6,000 expert judges on technical merits...voted.

 

[Steve Williams]

Leo finally gets his due. Much deserved for an amazing role in an amazing movie.

 

[NorthStar]

Leo - finally ('The Revenant') - Best Actor

Wow, what a speech too!

...................

And now ... Best Picture: Spotlight - They voted for the biggest Impact.
Extremely important message for the entire human race.

 

[Steve Williams]

Spotlight scores as Best Picture

Much deserved.

 

[still-one]

Spotlight scores as Best Picture

Much deserved.

I agree.

Second Best: The Revenant ? Best Cinematography + Best Director & Best Actor = [[[ 3 ]]] Oscars

Third: Mad Max: Fury Road ? Most Oscars [[[ 6 ]]] in total
