And my scores 2015

Best animated feature film of the year
* Inside Out
* Anomalisa
* Shaun the Sheep Movie
* The Peanuts Movie Boy and the World
* The Good Dinosaur When Marnie Was Here

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



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

So Sylvester Stallone got nominated after all. Idris Elba I should have seen coming; I was very doubtful earlier but as he was everywhere, I thought it would happen. I really like him but this was not his year and probably the Academy still prefers the big screen.

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 Jennifer Lawrence - Joy

The golden girl got nominated again. This was my own risk that I took and for the fifth place I could have chosen Jennifer Lawrence; but I didn't.


Performance by an actress in a supporting role
* Kate Winslet - Steve Jobs
* Helen Mirren - Trumbo Rachel McAdams - Spotlight
* Alicia Vikander - Ex Machina Alicia Vikander - The Danish Girl
* Rooney Mara - Carol
* Jennifer Jason Leigh - The Hateful Eight

And this could have been the Danish Girl but I chose otherwise. Rachel McAdams I didn't see coming.

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.

Performance by an actress in a supporting role
* Kate Winslet - Steve Jobs
* Helen Mirren - Trumbo
* Alicia Vikander - Ex Machina
* Rooney Mara - Carol
* Jennifer Jason Leigh - The Hateful Eight

* Cartel Land
* He Named Me Malala
* Listen To Me Marlon

Achievement in film editing

* The Martian
* Star Wars: The Force Awakens

Best foreign language film of the year
* Hungary - Son of Saul

* Mustang - France

Hopefully Finland's entry will be nominated but as this category is a wild game, you will never know.
