Well. The red carpets are rolling out tonight for the Oscars. There were a lot of great movies nominated this year, and I feel really lucky to have gotten to see most of them. The question of the night is definitely “who will win?”

These are my picks for tonight’s winners.

Best Picture

The Big Short

Bridge of Spies

Brooklyn

Mad Max: Fury Road

The Martian

The Revenant

Room

Spotlight

The Revenant is my choice mostly because I feel that this year was a relatively week category. I loved The Martian, but it’s not an Oscar movie. I also liked Brooklyn and The Big Short, but they aren’t as great when it comes to general artistic film quality as The Revenant. If it isn’t this one, Room is my second choice.

Best Actor

Bryan Cranston – Trumbo

Matt Damon – The Martian

Leonardo DiCaprio – The Revenant

Michael Fassbender – Steve Jobs

Eddie Redmayne – The Danish Girl

Eddie Redmayne was wooden and boring in The Danish Girl, and Matt Damon wasn’t serious enough. I wasn’t a fan of Fassbender’s Steve Jobs, so we’re left with Leo and Bryan. I would pick Leo first, and not because it’s “his year” but because he honestly had the best performance. Cranston is a close second though.

Best Actress

Cate Blanchett – Carol

Brie Larson – Room

Jennifer Lawrence – Joy

Charlotte Rampling – 45 Years

Saoirse Ronan – Brooklyn

This was the category I had the most trouble with. I think that this is going to belong to Brie Larson, with Cate Blanchett as a close second.

Actor in a Supporting Role

Christian Bale – The Big Short

Tom Hardy – The Revenant

Mark Ruffalo – Spotlight

Mark Rylance – Bridge of Spies

Sylvester Stallone – Creed

My heart says that Tom Hardy was the best. His performance in The Revenant was better than Leo’s. After saying that though, I think that Sylvester Stallone will likely win based on what critics have said. But Tom Hardy probably deserves it.

Actress in a Supporting Role

Jennifer Jason Leigh – The Hateful Eight

Rooney Mara – Carol

Rachel McAdams – Spotlight

Alicia Vikander – The Danish Girl

Kate Winslet – Steve Jobs

While Eddie Redmayne was awful in The Danish Girl, Alicia Vikander stole that show. She wins.

Animated Feature Film

Anomalisa

Boy and the World

Inside Out

Shaun the Sheep Movie

When Marnie Was There

Inside Out, while probably not the most artistic, is the most fun to watch. How did Shaun the Sheep get nominated?

Cinematography

Carol

The Hateful Eight

Mad Max: Fury Road

The Revenant

Sicario

The Hateful Eight was the most beautifully shot, with The Revenant being close. Both have a lot of spectacular landscape shots of the western wilderness, and that’s always the closest to my heart.

Costume Design

Carol

Cinderella

The Danish Girl

Mad Max: Fury Road

The Revenant

Cinderella, as a movie, not great, but it had beautiful clothes. There’s no denying that.

Directing

The Big Short

Mad Max: Fury Road

The Revenant

Room

Spotlight

Again, this is The Revenant’s year. If The Revenant doesn’t win, I would say the The Room would be my next pick.

Those are my picks for the Big 9 categories. Who do you think will win this year? Are there any nominees who win in your heart, but not on stage?

Let me know!
