Today’s episode of Clevver News Feed is brought to you by new Snickers Crisper – For New Kinds of Hunger. A New Kind of Snickers. The Oscars go mad for Max, but The Force is not strong for Star Wars. This year’s Oscar nominations once again brought us plenty of surprises and snubs and two of the biggest are perhaps the overwhelming love for Mad Max: Fury Road and the little amount for one of the biggest movies ever, Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Fury Road was second behind The Revenant for most nominations with 10 including Best Picture and Best Director for George Miller. The film also swept the technical categories, becoming only the fourth film in history to receive nominations in all seven categories along with Titanic, Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World and Hugo. While The Force Awakens did manage to land five nominations including Best Film Editing, Original Score, Visual Effects, Sound Editing and Sound Mixing; it failed to land a Best Picture nomination despite the fact that there were two spots left open. The big winner of the day was of course The Revenant which led with 12 nominations including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor for Leonardo DiCaprio and probably most surprising, a Best Supporting Actor nom for Tom Hardy who has not been recognized at any of the other major award shows. Joining Mad Max: Fury Road and The Revenant in the Best Picture category are The Big Short, Bridge of Spies, Brooklyn, The Martian, Room and Spotlight. Animated Feature Film noms went to Anomalisa, Boy and the World, Inside Out, Shaun the Sheep Movie and When Marnie Was There. In the acting categories, Leonardo DiCaprio will be competing against Bryan Cranston for Trumbo, Matt Damon in The Martian, Michael Fassbender in Steve Jobs and Eddie Redmayne for The Danish Girl in the Best Actor category while Tom Hardy will face off against Christian Bale in The Big Short, Mark Ruffalo for Spotlight, Mark Rylance in Bridge of Spies and sentimental favorite and Golden Globe winner Sylvester Stallone for Creed in the Best Supporting Actor category. Best Actress noms went to Cate Blanchett for Carol, Brie Larson in Room, Jennifer Lawrence for Joy, Charlotte Rampling in 45 Years and Saoirse Ronan [https://youtu.be/oifRCyBnPHU] for Brooklyn while Best Supporting Actress noms went to Jennifer Jason Leigh for The Hateful Eight, Rooney Mara for Carol, Rachel McAdams in Spotlight, Alicia Vikander in The Danish Girl and Kate Winslet for Steve Jobs. The 2016 Academy Awards will be handed out live on Sunday, February 28th and be hosted by Chris Rock.
