Best Picture
The Big Short
Bridge of Spies
Brooklyn
Mad Max: Fury Road
The Martian
The Revenant
Room
Spotlight
As pictured above this is a three horse race between Spotlight, The Revenant, and The Big Short. The Revenant seems to be the favorite with the most nominations, but Spotlight has been my gut feeling and the experts pick for a few months now. The dark-horse here is The Big Short which would be the most politically and socially relevant choice of the three, but voters haven't really been motivated by those causes of late. As for my personal choices, this is probably the strongest Best Picture field in years. Four of them (Room, Brooklyn, The Big Short, and The Martian) are in my top ten favorite films of the year. Three of them (Bridge of Spies, Mad Max, and The Revenant) would find a spot in my top twenty. Spotlight was the only film I was disappointed with. It was solid, but a wholly underwhelming experience.... which is why it will most likely be hoisting the big prize tonight.... of course.
