Predictions are in

My predictions are here. I haven't been following the buzz that much this year either, but here are my predictions anyway.


Best animated feature film of the year
* Inside Out
* Anomalisa
* Shaun the Sheep Movie
* The Peanuts Movie
* The Good Dinosaur

Performance by an actor in a leading role
* Bryan Cranston - Trumbo
* Eddie Redmayne - The Danish Girl
* Michael Fassbender - Steve Jobs
* Leonardo DiCaprio - The Revenant
* Matt Damon - The Martian







Hopefully Leo will eventually get nominated. He has been snubbed a couple of times before and therefore he's never a lock until the nominations have been announced.

Performance by an actor in a supporting role
* Mark Rylance - Bridge of Spies
* Mark Ruffalo - Spotlight
* Idris Elba - Beasts of No Nation
* Christian Bale - The Big Short
* Michael Shannon - 99 Homes

Sylvester Stallone could get nominated but I did not feel like it. I chose Michael Shannon.

Performance by an actress in a leading role
* Cate Blanchett - Carol
* Saoirse Ronan - Brooklyn
* Brie Larson - Room
* Charlotte Rampling - 45 Years
* Alicia Vikander - The Danish Girl





The fifth spot was hard. Maybe Alicia Vikander will be nominated twice therefore The Danish Girl is leading and Ex Machina supporting.
