This year’s Academy Award nominations and the films that I have seen
America’s Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has announced this year’s nominations for what are popularly known as the Oscars. As usual, a small number of films has attracted a large number of nominations, so the top eight movies have garnered no less than 57 of the nominations.
I have seen five of these eight works (the other three have not yet opened in the UK), as you’ll see here:
- “The Revenant” – 12
- “Mad Max: Fury Road” – 10 : my review here
- “The Martian” – 7 : my review here
- “Spotlight” – 6
- “Bridge of Spies” – 6 : my review here
- “Carol” – 6: my review here
- “The Big Short” – 5
- “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” – 5 : my review here
