Oscar Nominations: ‘The Revenant’ Leads with 12; ‘Mad Max’ Lands 10
On Thursday, the Academy of Motion Pictures, Arts and Sciences announced the nominations for the 88th annual Academy Awards.
Alejandro Inarritu’s frontier epic, “The Revenant,” led all films with 12 nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director for Innarritu, and Best Actor for Leonardo DiCaprio.
Inarritu could win Best Picture two years in a row should “The Revenant” come out on top, after winning for “Birdman” last year.
George Miller’s dystopian masterpiece “Mad Max: Fury Road” landed the second most nominations with 10, including Best Picture and Best Director.
Ridley Scott’s critically-acclaimed “The Martian,” landed seven nominations, though the director was once again left out of the Best Director category.
The early favorite for the highest honors, “Spotlight,” received six nominations.
While there were no major surprises from the list, early reactions from the nominations have focused on the Best Actor category, after only white actors were nominated for a second year in a row. Actor Idris Elba was thought a shoe-in for a nomination for his role in “Beasts of No Nation,” but was snubbed. Along with DiCaprio, the nominees for Best Actor include Matt Damon (“The Martian”), Michael Fassbender (“Steve Jobs”), Eddie Redmayne (“The Danish Girl”), and Bryan Cranston (“Trumbo”).
One other note from Thursday’s reveal was Jennifer Lawrence, 25, became the youngest four-time nominee after earning another Best Actress nomination for “Joy.” She’ll be up against Cate Blanchett (“Carol”), Brie Larson (“Room”), Charlotte Rampling (“45 Years”), and Saoirse Ronan (“Brooklyn”).
