88th Oscars Predictions

Even if I haven't been that much active lately on Le Mot du Cinephiliaque I wanted to bring my two cents into the ocean of Oscars predictions lists going on all around. Of all the nominees, I only watched Mad Max: Fury Road, The Revenant, and The Martian. Each film I enjoyed at different levels. I invite you to click on the links of the films to read my reviews of each film.

Enough of this already, let's get on with my actual predictions and my personal picks in every category. Oh, I won't be listing every nominees so if you don't know them please consult this list for the whole damn thing: http://oscar.go.com/nominees
