What is the current buzz?
73rd Golden Globes Results
- Shocking results, but should have foreseen the Globes owing Alejandro G. Inarritu
- The Revenant is a sure nominee for Oscars, but probably not the winner
- Winners that do make sense and are precursors to the Oscars: Leonardo diCaprio for Best Actor, Drama (The Revenant); Brie Larson for Best Actress, Drama (Room)
- Promising films that will win the Oscars: Son of Saul for Best Foreign Language Film; Inside Out for Best Animated Feature
- Results that can now add instability to the Oscars race: Sylvester Stallone for Best Supporting Actor (Creed); Kate Winslet for Best Supporting Actress in (Steve Jobs); Aaron Sorkin for Best Screenplay (Steve Jobs); Ennio Morricone for Best Original Score (The Hateful Eight)
- Winners that will not win anything at the Oscars: Alejandro G. Inarritu for Best Director in The Revenant; Sam Smith for Best Song "Writing's on the Wall" (Spectre)
BAFTA nominations
- Best Picture nominees The Big Short, Spotlight, Carol, The Revenant should garner enough Best Picture buzz at the Oscars
- Bridge of Spies and Carol walked home with 9 nominations, The Revenant seconding at 8 nominations
- Mad Max: Fury Road has 7 nominations, but mainly in the technical categories
- The Martian got snubbed for Best Picture, but it should have love from the Oscars
- Nominated directors Steven Spielberg (Bridge of Spies) and Adam McKay (The Big Short) are gathering buzzes for Best Director race
- The nominated original screenplay of Ex Machina can be a surprise at the Oscars nominations
- Very confused about where Alicia Vikander stands for her role in The Danish Girl - Best Actress or Best Supporting Actress????
- Nominated Benicio del Toro for Best Supporting Actor in Sicario could suddenly hit the Oscars
