DiCaprio
Larson
Lubezki
Inside Out
Son of SaulThe screenplays are almost locked, not 100% locked. If voters really didn’t care about Spotlight or TBS (which is possible) I don’t see them rushing to reward them with screenplay-consolation prizes. Maybe Inside Out & Room can surprise in their respective categories.
February 15, 2016 at 6:56 pm #216908Leo for sure.
The screenplay categories aren’t locks, although The Big Short is a really strong favorite that will probably win, unless Room can pull an upset which looks doubtful because Brie is such a strong lock in Best Actress and they won’t feel the need to reward the film anywhere else. Spotlight is vulnerable due to the race controversy so Straight Outta Compton is a possible winner. I’m gonna wait till the very end to decide on that race.

It’s facing an uphill battle with TR for sure, but it won’t lose its best bet to something like Room. And can someone explain the praise for its screenplay to me ? Directing, okay. But for a movie about silence the panegyric for its screenplay is weird.

Well, the Academy clearly liked Room and upsets in Adapted Screenplay can happen if there’s a film that has a lot of passion behind it. That said, I get your point- Big Short is a near lock for the award. I just am not calling it a lock.

followed closely by Brie Larson and Sly Stallone
Then Inside Out and Son of Saul and Amy
Then BD AGI
Then BC Lubezski
Best Picture is still up in the air as far as I’m concerned
After that, it’s anyone’s guess although I might step a bit out on a limb and call most of the techs for Mad Max with Editing being a Wild Card (Big Short or MM)February 16, 2016 at 11:29 am #216917This post was found to be inappropriate by the moderators and has been removed.
