Winners of the 88th Oscars 2016 Feb 29

It's a leap year and time for the Oscar results!

Was Kal Kat right?

Best Picture, Spotlight, the story of a magazine that broke the dirty priests scandal of the last decade, was what Oscar loved more than all those others. This is an odd call considering it barely appeared in theaters. I would have seen it if it had.

Best Actor, Leonardo DiCaprio, the Revenant, as he finnaly gets an Oscar, he had to act like he was all mutilated crawling through the snow. Man, that's one tough way to win a statue. He was my second choice though. Yay.

Best Director, Alejanodro Inarratu, the Revenant, was a possible second choice, because if Oscar went with Leo it was likely to go with his director. The scenes were awesome but brutal, so yeah, direction.

Brie Larsen, Room, not to be confused with The Room, although that's probably what the fogies were thinking of, not of this. Ha. No actually this movie hardly ever showed here either. It was at the Camera 12 for a while. That's an art house theater. Room was about a hostage situation and adapting to the world. Seems the fogies watched Red Letter Media's second choice pick, and picked it, only days beforehand. The acting though apparently was amazing. They get to be cramped in a box. You have to act outside the box.She did both.

I guess Ronan was just too young for her Irish immigrant tale, Laurence had too much drama at the globes, with a mop salesman role, and the others weren't actually worthy. I cannot believe Blanchett is not worthy. You must have ticked off someone.

Best Supporting Actor, Mark Rylance, Bridge of Spies, another movie that RLM did a lot on in their pre Oscar speech, but it wasn't that good and he was apparently okay.

What a way to totally snub Ton Hardy, would really should have walked away with The Revenant win there. Okay, not Mad Max, but at least for the snow movie.

Original Screenplay goes to Spotlight, the story of breaking the pedo priests. Well, Oscar loves some look at the other guys who are jerks movies. It wasn't playing here or rereleased here. Not sure I would have seen it. History tells us that most of those pervyu power mad priests got away with it until they kicked out a pope, for allegedly other reasons. Benedict I think. The story this is more grim than the movie.

Alicia Vikcanter, The Danish Girl, another immigrant tale about while folk, and RLM's choice for supporting actress in a snarky cynical way. They freaking called it. Yay!

Not even nominating Charlice Theron for actress and ignoring the others was a shame.

The Big Short, adapted screenplay about Hollywood politics, wins that, with a snob to Coen movie Hail, Ceasar that has a similar plot, and was not nominated.

The Revenenat walked with Cinematography, well crawled through snow, and won it.

Everest had been totally snubbed and was not nominated for crawling through snow.

Production design and film editing with the Mad Max Fury Road, because giving something that cool any higher praises would have proved a sea change and they like action flicks, and they don't.

They got costume design for Max also.

Ex Machina won for visual effects, which is nice but ultimately a snub to Mad Max, The Revenant and The Martian, which had some even more stunning visual effects. Well it does have two lonely guys in a room and a robot chick with curves, so the old fogies probably watched like six minutes and said sure, but couldn't recant.

Mad Max also walked with sound editing and sound mixing, which yes is great in it.

The Hateful Eight got score, although others deserved it. They gave it this because it didn't win anything else and was put there to please a ranting production team. See, we included this, so we're cool. No. You're fogies.

The best song allegedly was the Writing on the Wall from Specter, seriously. Did they even watch that movie?

Inside Out wins for best animated film, a shoe in to win, and Kal Kat's only pick that was spot on.

Well he said he was more in line with the MTV movie awards and critics choice.

You know they let Chris Rock host because of the lack of noms for black people this year. The fogies are racially insensitive.

Where was Creed and where was The Martian? Should have known the space movie would not get anything.

Called the Revenant.

Oscar hits for the soft, drama movies, and is a drama awards, and doesn't even try for action, so there was no way.

They did nothing outside the box here and I should have totally called it, but I had no idea they would completely snub The Martian and Scott, and then completely poop best picture out based on drreary film. Well it is dreary, so it should have occurred to me.

Kal Kat Picks for the 88th Academy Awards

Best Picture
The Martian, crowd pleasing and big money maker, and first hard science fiction movie this decade to win.
Brooklyn, didn't see it but it got good reviews, and Ronan was in it, so if it had been playing in my area I would have!
Bridge of Spies, no idea why this is included, as it is just a good film, but not great.
Mad Max Fury Road, an excellent chase movie, big money maker, but comes from Australia
Room 2015
The Big Short, never heard of it, which is why Oscar might pull and upset and give it to the film.
Spotlight, didn't see it, but again they might do an upset and give it to this one.
The Revenant, although it is possible this angry trapper movie could win, as they like violent movies, it likely will not.

Snubbed
Inside Out
The Hateful Eight
Everest, not the best but where is it?
Straight Outta Compton, as apparently this was an excellent movie, but old fogies hate rap music, or any music prior to 1947.

Best Animated Picture
Inside Out, hands down, because the sheep movie is cute but the old fogies would have been asleep quickly, not that they watched either.
Shaun the Sheep the Movie

Actor
Leonardo DiCaprio, The Revenant
Matt Damon, The Martian, made this movie, absolutely, tailor made for him.

Not listing the others because the awards always snub Leo, and they will do so again. 

Actor
Tom Hardy, The Revenant

Supporting Actor
Tom Hardy, The Revenant

Actress
Brie Larson, Room
Saorise Ronan, Brooklyn, as she is known but not so much to the old Oscar fogies, and this is the choice.
Jennifer Lawrence, Joy, does not deserve the Oscar for this film and this does not make sense.
Kate Blanchett, Carol, runner up because she's already been given some awards

Snubbed, Charlies Theron, Mad Max Fury Road, as it was about her more than Max! 

Supporting Actress
Jennifer Jason Liegh, The Hateful Eight, really she deserves the award, but no.
Rooney Mara, Carol, she will get it to upset the other contenders, because the academy loves weepies.
Rachel McAddams, Spotlight, because its a movie about something boring maybe.

Director
Ridley Scott, The Martian
He will take home director because the others are just not him.
