The year 2015 was a prime time for movies. As multitude of new and enticing movies were released, including Star Wars: The Force Awakens, The Martian and others. And the Academy seemed to grab some attention with their so-called “white-washed” nominations, but even with the backslash the Academy has gotten, the nominations have been hard to chose between for Coppell as they predict who will win the Oscars.

Best Picture

• The Big Short
• Bridge of Spies
• Brooklyn
• Mad Max: Fury Road
• The Martian – 37%
• The Revenant
• Spotlight

The Martian, directing by Ridley Scott, has made $598.9 million off of the box office and it only continues to grow with people scrambling to the theaters to watch this movie. This “out of this world” movie has really proven to have a chance to win as the people acclaim the movie for it’s acting, production and sound.

Actor in Leading Role

• Bryan Cranston, Trumbo
• Matt Damon, The Martian
• Leonardo DiCaprio, The Revenant – 47%
• Michael Fassbender, Steve Jobs
• Eddie Redmayne, The Danish Girl

Social media has made it known that Leonardo DiCaprio has a strong chance at finally winning an Oscar. The star of Titanic has made a lasting impression on the media no matter the amount of awards he has won.

Actress in a Leading Role

• Cate Blanchett, Carol
• Brie Larson, Room
• Jennifer Lawrence, Joy – 55%
• Charlotte Rampling, 45 Years
• Saoirse Ronan, Brooklyn

Jennifer Lawrence, best known for her lead role in The Hunger Games, performed marvelously in Joy as the audience’s wept while they watched this woman grow and become stronger from the hurt of betrayal. Lawrence was the “joy” of the movie even when the audience cried.
