Let’s see how well we can, as a group, predict the major Oscar winners.

It is not necessary to have seen all the nominated films to vote, simply predict who or what you think will win.

mmm

They won’t give Inarritu a second straight one, Miller is a septuagenarian and Mad Max directorial efforts were universally praised, even if it’s an actioner- Abrahamson is too indie and McCarthy- well, he did an Adam Sandler movie- he’s going to need five Station Agents to atone for that one.

Going with Miller.

This is the hardest major category. That’s actually true many years.

Yeah, we might get a split with Miller winning this and Revenant winning Best Picture.

That’s what I think will happen. They’ll never give BP to a movie like Mad Max, but they’ll probably take the opportunity to award Miller for this movie and really, his whole career, since Inarritu won last year.

I agree the best bet is a split; Miller is well respected and it’d be a deserving award for a remarkably directed film
