    There's Mad Max: Fury Road in all its dystopian glory: "They live in the future, which is a total shithole."

    The Big Short is nominated, which TBH I still only know is about the financial crisis or something.

    Don't forget about Spotlight, where Liev Schreiber revitalizes The Boston Globe and all of journalism.

    And, of course, The Revenant, Leo's big hope for finally getting that shiny statuette.

    Though, if you prefer your serious movies with more emotional connection and fewer bears, you probably will support Room (sorry Leo).

    There's Brooklyn, your mom's weepy romantic fave.

    Matt Damon's long-form vlog, The Martian, featuring lots of botany and Donald Glover's "plan" to get Matt home to Earth.

    And finally, America's boyfriend, Tom Hanks, saves the country and a soldier or something by lawyering and negotiating in Bridge of Spies.
