Throwing out my two cents, "Fury Road" should win every category it was nominated for, and also best original score to boot (because the score was on point). Because "Fury Road wasn't nominated for best score, the winner there should be Ennio Morricone for his really good score for "The Hateful 8." Yes, even better than the score for "The Force Awakens," I feel that John Williams is past his prime, but somehow old as the hills Ennio keeps on pumping out great soundtracks. Leonardo DiCaprio probably deserves best Actor for all the shit he went through making "The Revenant," but I think Eddie Redmayne will snag it from him, leaving DiCaprio oscarless as always. Finally, I hope that Shawn the Sheep Movie wins best animated picture, because it was just wonderful.

4980921 I am in favor of Mad Max, but I would prefer either Lubezki or Deakins for cinematography overall.

DiCaprio will probably win. Nobody else in the catagory really has done what he did for The Revenant.

Inside Out for Animated Feature, no contest at all from anything.

4981007 I actually am in the tiny minority that thought that inside out was ok at best, and MEDIOCRE at worst. But i'm a stickler for a good and civil debate. So, what made 'Inside Out' walk home with your Oscar for best animated picture?

4981108 The fact that it handled such a complex subject as psychology so deftly. Plus, great writing, animation, and voice acting
