Academy Award Predictions
The Oscar Nominations were announced last week. There were many Irish nominations announced, including Saoirse Ronan for ''Brooklyn'' and a Best Picture and Best Director nomination for Lenny Abrahamson's ''Room''. Here is a list of the nominations and my personal predictions.
Best Picture: Nominees
The Big Short
Bridge of Spies
Brooklyn
Mad Mad: Fury Road
The Martian
The Revenant
Room
Spotlight
Prediction: Spotlight CORRECT
The film follows "Spotlight" team of the Boston Globes, the oldest continuously operating newspaper investigative unit in the United States and its investigation into the widespread child sexual abuse cases in the Catholic church of Boston.
Biographics tend to be favoured by The Academy, although in 2015 ''The Imitation Game'' lost out to ''Birdman''. Spotlight is definitely a top contender for the Best Picture award.
Best Actor: Nominees
Leonardo DiCaprio, The Revenant
Eddie Redmayne, The Danish Girl
Matt Damon, The Martian
Michael Fassbender, Steve Jobs
Bryan Cranston, Trumbo
Prediction: Leonardo DiCaprio, The Revenant CORRECT
Leonardo DiCaprio stars in Revenant. While he has an awful track record for actually winning the many Oscars which he gets nominated for (6) such as The Wolf of Wall Street, and also missing out on Oscar nominations from movies such as Django Unchained, Leonardo DiCaprio won a Golden Globe for the Revenant. This makes him much more likely to be the winner of the Best Actor Oscar of 2016.

Best Actress: Nominees
Brie Larson, Room
Saoirse Ronan, Brooklyn
Jennifer Lawrence, Joy
Cate Blanchett, Carol
Charlotte Rampling, 45 Years
Prediction: Brie Larson, Room CORRECT
Brie Larson stars in ''Room'', directed by the Irish Lenny Abrahamson. Larson has faired very well in most film awards, winning the Golden Globe award for best actress, among many others. Brie Larson's acting level was the most emphasised appraisal from critics.
Best Director: Nominees
Adam McKay, The Big Short
Tom McCarthy, Spotlight
Lenny Abrahamson, Room
George Miller: Fury Road
Alejandro G. Iñárritu, The Revenant
Prediction: Tom McCarthy, Spotlight HALF INCORRECT
Tom McCarthy is the director of the Best Picture nominated film ''Spotlight''. I also predicted that ''Spotlight'' will receive the Best Picture award. McCarthy's directing has been well praised, and he is right next to Alejandro G. Iñárritu in terms of likelihood of winning. (HALF CORRECT)
Other Predictions:
Best Supporting Actor: Mike Rylance, Bridge of Spies CORRECT
Best Supporting Actress: Rooney Mara, Carol INCORRECT
Best Original Screenplay: Straight Outta Compton INCORRECT
Best Adapted Screenplay: Room INCORRECT
Best Animated Feature Film: Inside Out CORRECT
Best Cinematography: The Revenant CORRECT
Best Film Editing: Mad Max: Fury Road CORRECT
Brie Larson stars in ''Room'', directed by the Irish Lenny Abrahamson. Larson has faired very well in most film awards, winning the Golden Globe award for best actress, among many others. Brie Larson's acting level was the most emphasised appraisal from critics.
