The Oscars are getting so generic nowadays it's kind of frustrating, but nice to see Mad Max get so many noms. Go Team!

I think Sixel has to have it in the bag for the editing. The sheer amount of work involved in cutting that must have been nuts and the movie is really made by the great editing and pace.

I'm happy Fury Road got nominated for best picture since the Academy usually snubs action films. I've never heard of Room until I looked up the nominations.

I'm surprised Star Wars wasn't nominated for Best Picture. And while I didn't see it, Will Smith looked great in the ads for Concussion, so I'm a bit shocked he wasn't nominated for Best Actor.

I'm a bit bummed that See You Again didn't get a nom for Best Song.  :thumbdown:

I'd much rather have that in the running then the one from 50 Shades of s**t.  :hatred: :hatred: :hatred:

I think this merits a bump with the Oscars bring this Sunday.

Hope you all have fun watching it, I'll be at work/

Will Leo finally win the gold statue?

I managed to see Room recently.  I'd seen a poster and nothing else til the nominations came in.  I think it'd be my pic for Best Picture, with Fury Road behind it - I've seen all 8 nominations this year.  Terrific film, with two terrific leads.  Brie Larson has a great shot at the Best Actress nod.

Hey, for fun, I'm going to try to rank all 8 Best Picture Nominees...

1. Room
2. Fury Road
3. Brooklyn
4. Spotlight
5. Revenant
6. Bridge of Spies
7. Big Short
8. The Martian.

That's close to my own. I'd rank them

1. Room
2. Fury Road
3. The Big Short
4. Spotlight
5. The Martian
6. Bridge of Spies
7. Revenant
8. Brooklyn

go J Law! I haven't come close to seeing any of these

I should have known this but I only found out about two minutes ago that Margaret Sixel - George Miller's wife - is South African by birth. Also: well done!  :cheers:
