I think he'll get snubbed for Bryan Cranston.

This prediction has absolutely no basis on the actors' performances, as I have seen neither film, but on my flimsy opinion that Hollywood likes Walter White better than Jack Dawson.

[Deleted]

It is almost comical at this point.

[meowmaps]

I'd be afraid to be in a category with Kate Winslet. She's the new Meryl Streep. Doesn't she win every time?

Eta: The trend seems to be that Leo loses every time.  Poor guy.  I think he's so talented and I love how he's an advocate for wildlife and the environment.  

[Deleted]

I love Leo, but he will probably get snubbed, again.

[nahoku]

I haven't seen either movie, but I think Eddie Redmayne might edge him out.

Eddie won last year. I doubt they will give him one two years in a row.

[Gato]

I am sad that I haven't seen ANY of these movies. At least I've read three of the books on which the best pictures are based.

I know! He could be the new Tom Hanks!

He was good. It was a great film.

She and JLaw are in a race

I think I'll be watching this year's awards because I'm so enamored of The Revenant.

[pinkeggs]

I really really love Leo. He fucking deserves it, dammit!

But I agree, he will prob get snubbed. The academy hates him; he is their ball of yarn to toy with.

[luckyval]

I was thinking Cate Blanchett would be the new Meryl Streep. But that kind of implies that Meryl Streep's run is over. And I don't see it ending anytime soon.

Random thought: Have Blanchett and Streep ever made a movie together?

[rockpaperscissors]

I think Leo will win this year. I think the Academy voters will give it to him.

I just hope Inside Out wins for every award it's nominated for lol.

It's not a snub if Cranston (or anybody else) is more deserving.

Ok, maybe a snub if Damon gets it. LOL.

[pantsparty]

For some reason I don't want Jennifer Lawrence to get it again. I'm over the David O. Russell formula.

[Serenity9]

LOL! This is what I thought when I read Oscar Noms. I have been infected with internet-speak.

[pantsparty]

Poor Leo

[miso]

Have you guys watched Trumbo? It's really good!

And, while Carol was so incredibly slow, I think Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara were both excellent.

Not this year, but for the 4 years previous I watched most all of the films nominated in the big 5 categories and my guesses as to who would win were MUCH worse having seen all the movies than when I hadn't seen most of them and just listened to the buzz

Do we know why they hate him?

I don't. Because he was too pretty in Titanic to be taken seriously? I don't know. I don't see how anyone could watch Basketball Diaries or Gilbert Grape and not think he is simply phenomenal.

J Law is starting to get on my nerves.
