BRYAN CRANSTON TRUMBO MATT DAMON THE MARTIAN LEONARDO DICAPRIO THE REVENANT MICHAEL FASSBENDER STEVE JOBS EDDIE REDMAYNE THE DANISH GIRL
You don’t eat slabs of bison liver and nearly freeze to death and drown unless there’s a statue at the end of it, and it looks like Leo’s always-the-bridesmaid Oscar lock-out could finally end. Elsewhere, whilst the not- really-true transgender pioneer biopic Te Danish Girl was a bit syrupy and superficial, Eddie Redmayne’s performance was astonishing. Also, a nice surprise in Bryan Cranston’s nom for Trumbo, a film that we really enjoyed, but which received a tepid critical reception.

Best Actress
CATE BLANCHETT CAROL BRIE LARSON ROOM JENNIFER LAWRENCE JOY CHARLOTTE RAMPLING 45 YEARS SAOIRSE RONAN BROOKLYN
Te local angle here is Charlotte Rampling’s shock nomination, flying the flag not just for England, but for our own fair Norwich, where silver-haired romantic drama 45 years was shot. She’s unlikely to win, though, with the smart money going on Brie Larson’s complex and faultless performance in Room, which has already netted her a Golden Globe. One can never rule out the potential for upset, though. Never, EVER, underestimate the J-Law, and Saoirse Ronan’s blossoming in Brooklyn is a remarkable breakthrough performance. (It’s pronounced “Seer-Sha,” by the way. We had to look it up.)

CHRISTIAN BALE THE BIG SHORT TOM HARDY THE REVENANT MARK RUFFALO SPOTLIGHT MARK RYLANCE BRIDGE OF SPIES SYLVESTER STALLONE CREED
Hollywood can’t resist an underdog tale, and this could be the year it finally rewards Stallone as an actor for one of cinema’s most hardy creations. His atypically vulnerable turn as the reluctant trainer in Creed would certainly be a popular choice.

JENNIFER JASON LEIGH THE HATEFUL EIGHT ROONEY MARA CAROL RACHEL MCADAMS SPOTLIGHT ALICIA VIKANDER THE DANISH GIRL KATE WINSLET STEVE JOBS
Te big pre-nominations question in this category was whether Alicia Vikander’s extraordinary performance would feature in the Best Actress or Best Supporting list. As it happens, it’s landed here and, as such, is pretty much a shoe in.
