The 88th annual Academy Awards (Oscars) broadcast will be Sunday, February 28, 2016, announcing the winners for the best movies of 2015.

This year's host is Chris Rock, who previously hosted in 2005. The most talked-about pre-Oscar buzz isn't about the nominated movies, but about #oscarssowhite, with threats of celebrity boycotts and a Saturday Night Live spoof. It's a pretty safe prediction that Rock will have something to say about that.

The nominated films include a couple with short names of women, "Amy" and "Joy", and one amusing movie with a rather long title: "The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed out the Window and Disappeared".

This thread is for our annual contest. Here are some other movie threads I spotted in the forums in recent months:

Related to nominated movies:

The "Steve Jobs" movie collected the most threads (no surprise there):

An ancient thread became newly relevant, for the movie "What Happened, Miss Simone?":

My analysis

I've seen just over half of the nominated films (29 out of 57), but they cover 71% of the nominations, so I'm ready to cast my votes.

When I saw The Revenant, I thought "oh yeah, best picture". Then I thought the same thing watching "The Big Short" (such innovating storytelling!) and Spotlight. It's hard to believe they were all based on true events. It's hard to believe that this will (in my opinion) be Leonardo DiCaprio's first Oscar win. (The first one for Sylvester Stallone too.)

Brie Larson was amazing in Room, and so was her non-nominated young co-star Jacob Tremblay.

I think it was a weak year for supporting actors, but an outstanding one for supporting actresses, some of whom should have competed in the Best Actress category.

Did anyone talk about any other foreign language film than Son of Saul? I think that's en easy call for Hungary.

All of the nominees have a shot for visual effects, but I think Mad Max was too much of the same thing and a lot of its impact were due to production design, The Martian was mostly a matter of cool backdrops, and Ex Machina was impressive and no doubt tedious to create but not totally innovative. Other than a less-than-friendly bear, I don't know why The Revenant should win in this category; its other effects were real, owing to cinematography, not pixel wizards. That leads me to pick Star Wars: The Force Awakens, because it had such a variety of effects. Even though we've seen many of them before. They are such an important part of that universe, it won the Visual Effects Society award, and I'm also betting that it'll be a sentimental favorite for the Academy member demographic.

I never agree with Academy voters on the shorts. I like the animated short "World of Tomorrow" best, but I think "Sanjay's Super Team" will edge it out. "Stutterer" is the live action short I'll remember best, and smiled about, but I think "Ave Maria" has what it takes to win.

I didn't see "Cinderella" so I can't judge its costumes against Mad Max: Fury Road, but I was impressed by the work done on the latter film, so that's what I'm going with. It also won the Costume Designers Guild Award.

I couldn't decide between Mad Max: Fury Road and The Revenant for sound editing, so I decided to wait for last night's Golden Reel awards. So guess what... they tied! I hereby flip a coin ad pick Mad Max: Fury Road (heads) instead of The Revenant (tails).

I think Mad Max will beat The Revenant for sound mixing. I could see it going either way, and The Revenant won the Cinema Audio Society Award, but the same film often wins both sound awards. I'll likely either be 2 for 2 or 0 for 2.

Sadly, my favorite nominated movie -- "The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed out the Window and Disappeared" -- won't win anything. Of course we all know that it's an honor just to be nominated. :)

Best Picture is the major award that's the hardest to call for me. I didn't see either The Big Short or Brooklyn, but the others were excellent. I'd like to see Spotlight get it because I think it won't get any acting awards, but I suspect that The Revenant will win.

BTW, I saw Room last night and I'm very disappointed that Jacob Tremblay didn't even get a nomination for Best Actor, since he was in almost every scene and was excellent by any standards.

You'll see him at the Oscars anyway. He's a presenter.

He certainly should've gotten a nod for Best Supporting. How he didn't is perhaps more evidence that the Academy has plenty of work to do.
 
Congrats to the top 3! A super tough year for guessing. Anyone care to do a $5 pool or all donate gift cards/DVDs/VHS tapes, etc for a pot to make it more interesting next year?
 
We'll just have to see how much interest there is next year. In the meantime, happy movie-watching!
 
According to TMZ, the organization’s rep says Rock sold about 500 boxes of Girl Scout cookies at $5 each — which would equal $2,500. While the comedian didn't raise the money on cookie sales alone, he did manage to pull in the cash through generous donations from Hollywood.

“Girl Scouts of Greater Los Angeles was thrilled to participate in the 88th Oscars on Sunday evening,” a spokeswoman for the Girl Scouts of the USA toldTheWrap. “Both Girl Scouts of the USA and the Academy have verified that, through sales of Girl Scout Cookies and donations made during the Oscars, the Girl Scouts raised $65,243, that will benefit girls, allowing them to improve their communities and continue developing into strong leaders.”
