Putting them down here, so I can’t claim to have been right if I was wrong.

Best Actor: Leo DiCaprio. Overdue and deserved.

Best Actress: Saoirse Ronan. Looking for an upset over Brie Larson here.

Best Director: Alejandro González Iñárritu.

Supporting Actor: Sly Stallone, because it’s an uplifting story. The others were all good, too. Especially liked Mark Rylance in Bridge of Spies.

Animated Feature: Inside Out. The return of Pixar.

Cinematography: The Revenant.
