The 88th Academy Awards are scheduled for a February 28th, 2016 and will be hosted by Chris Rock.
The awards were pretty safe this year with no huge upsets. Perhaps the biggest misses were Ridley Scott (The Martian) / Todd Haynes (Carol) for Best Director and no Carol for Best Picture. The Revenant leads all nominations with 12 including Best Picture. Not far behind is Mad Max: Fury Road with 10 nominations. A stunning achievement given the genre of film it is.
