CHLOTRUDIS DECLARES SPOTLIGHT THE BEST FILM OF 2015

SPOTLIGHT SHINES ON A NIGHT OF SHOCKS: THE 88TH ANNUAL ACADEMY AWARDS

Nobody thought it was possible: win the Best Picture Oscar with only one other win? And at that, the first award of the night? Half way through, it looked like even The Revenant wasn't going to be able to pull off the big win, as its tally was being depleted by an astonishing surge by Mad Max: Fury Road - six wins for George Miller's film! The later awards favoured Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu's western, however, and indeed both he and Leonardo DiCaprio won their expected trophies. But the gasps and cheers that greeted Morgan Freeman's announcement of Spotlight as the surprise Best Picture winner - and with only one other award won, Original Screenplay, to The Revenant's three and Mad Max's six - were confirmation: not only was this our Best Picture winner for 2015, it was also our most surprising winner since 2005's Crash, after our most unpredictable race in who knows how long.
     And there were even bigger shocks in other categories: Sylvester Stallone's widely predicted victory in Supporting Actor failed to materialise, as BAFTA champ Mark Rylance won instead. The Visual Effects award went to perhaps the most left-field winner in memory: Ex Machina, only the second time a Best Picture nominee has failed to win that award (when nominated) in history, and a choice utterly no-one had predicted. And Best Original Song went to 'Writing's on the Wall' from Spectre - the night's most reviled decision by a clear distance, and featuring the most mocked (and inaccurate) acceptance speech statement from singer Sam Smith, who claimed to be the first openly gay man to win an Oscar (he's not). Check out the nominations at this link, and grin gleefully over the award winners in full, below:

FINAL OSCAR PREDICTIONS PUT THE REVENANT IN PRIME POSITION

So this is what it's all come to. The hoariest hack in Hollywood is about to become the first director in history to direct back-to-back Best Picture winners, and to the sound of big profits for Fox and glowing reviews from a bunch of heterosexual white middle-aged critics chasing relevance. The Academy's membership has made is plain and simple to its leaders, desperate for that same relevance and thereby enforcing long-overdue changes: these members don't want diversity, and they're not going to vote for it. And that is that. Check out my final Oscar predictions below, if you can stomach it. It'll prepare you for the storm that's coming later tonight.

IT'S A TIE! MOTION PICTURE SOUND EDITORS AWARDS

As if to offer up confirmation as to the deadlocked state of the Oscar sound category races this year, the Motion Picture Sound Editors has declared a tie in its top award between the two frontrunners, Mad Max: Fury Road and The Revenant. Across the group's seven categories there were eight different winners, with each of the three most-nominated titles (the aforementioned two plus Star Wars: The Force Awakens) among the recipients. Take a look at what the MPSE nominated here, and their choices for award winners below:

SPOTLIGHT DOMINATES THE SPIRIT AWARDS

Big news for Spotlight, as Tom McCarthy's film wins every Spirit Award it was nominated for. It achieves an easy victory over Carol, which had the most nominations, though tonight's results were far from disappointing on the diversity front: three people of colour and one trans person won acting awards, including two prizes for Beasts of No Nation. It's an encouraging step from Film Independent, although somewhat dismaying if one looks closer - these were the only main categories where Oscar contenders were not represented, and given their recent trend of consistently awarding Oscar nominees where nominated, I wonder if we'd have seen the same slate of winners had these fields not been empty of Oscar-nominated talent. Let's not dwell on negative suspicion, and let's celebrate positive facts: slight Carol shut-out aside, the Spirit Awards 2015 were almost certainly far superior to what tomorrow night's Oscars look destined to be.

COSTUME DESIGNERS GUILD ANNOUNCES ITS AWARD WINNERS FOR 2015

If you ask me, the Oscar is no longer down to Sandy Powell vs. Sandy Powell - it's down to Sandy Powell vs. Jenny Beavan. The bag lady wins a Costume Designers Guild award for Mad Max: Fury Road, adding to the BAFTA she won just over a week ago, while fellow Oscar nominee Paco Delgado pulled off a slight surprise, winning for The Danish Girl. The double win was facilitated by the CDG's splitting of the Costume Design category, and it wasn't a double win - it was a triple, with Beasts of No Nation's Jenny Eagan also winning. I'm still calling Powell for the Oscar (for Cinderella, not Carol), but it could be a close one, with four potential winners in the one category. Have a look at this guild's nominees here, and their award winners below.

MAD MAX: FURY ROAD WINS FIVE SOS CRITICS' TALLY AWARDS!

Nearly three months after the first critics group announced its choices, here are the results of the 2015 Screen On Screen Critics' Tally. Carol claims the most nominations with eight, but wins none, as the competition is steamrolled by Mad Max: Fury Road, which wins five of seven nominations. Of the five films nominated for Best Picture, only three appear on Oscar's list of eight, and neither The Big Short nor The Revenant, each tipped to win Oscar's top award by many pundits, appear here. The only category to perfectly match the Academy's is Leading Actor, where Eddie Redmayne secures a nomination for The Danish Girl despite his co-star Alicia Vikander missing; never mind, she wins the Supporting Actress award for Ex Machina. These awards were devised by assigning point values to awards and polls from critics groups, with more influential groups carrying greater values to less influential ones.
