This year’s “Boyhood” is Mad Max. Apparently, there has to be a movie that I hate but might win a bunch of awards. I really hope it doesn’t happen. The problem is it has a good chance to win many of the technical awards (I’m going with Star Wars), but that said without writing, actors, or director I don’t see it getting Best Picture. Having The Revenant win Best Picture without a the screenplay is also scary but I don’t think Spotlight had enough going for it. Also of note, Mark Ryland should win over Stallone but there’s a lot of sentiment going for Sly.
