shadowkatTomorrow night is the Oscars, I'll probably skip it or tape it and just watch fast-forwarding throughout.
Below, for what it's worth are my predictions for the major categories. The field is a bit harder to predict this year.
1. Best Actor
Who will win: Leonardo Di Caprio - and to be fair he did make that movie work. It wouldn't have worked without him.
Who should win: Michael Fassbender as Steve Jobs, who made me forget I was watching Michael Fassbender. He was that good. And he's the only one that I saw that made me forget, the whole time I was watching The Revenant, The Martian, The Danish Girl and Trumbo, I was achingly aware of the actor that I was watching on screen - they were brilliant, but I saw the ticks and mannerisms present.
2. Best Actress
Who will win: Brie Lawson - Room
Who wasn't nominated and should have won - Charlize Theron, Mad Max - Fury Road as Imperosa.
(I admittedly haven't seen Room. I didn't like Carol or Joy, and haven't seen Brooklyn or 45 years)
3. Best Supporting Actor
Who will win: Sylvestor Stallon - Creed
Who should win: Christian Bale - The Big Short, who was close to unrecognizable.
4. Best Supporting Actress
Who will Win: Alicia Vikander for The Danish Girl
Who Should Win: Kate Winslet - Steve Jobs, she's unrecognizable in the film and the only one who was. Rooney Mara is a close second.
5. Best Director
Who will win: Alejandro G. Inarrito for The Revenant
Who should win: Adam McKay for The Big Short
6. Best Picture
Who Will Win - The Revenant
Who Should Win - The Big Short (which will be remembered longer for it's uniqueness. The Revenant is your basic by the numbers Hollywood film...which everyone has seen before, yet great cinematography. The Big Short? I've not seen done before in quite that way.)
