Rolling my eyes so hard at that...

[Lazlo]

Rolling my eyes so hard at that...

Because it's not a feature or because you didn't care for it?

I figure if people wanted to nominate it it should be in the category. I personally didn't get blown away by it like others. I think I'm the lone The Good Dinosaur vote.

[Dukefrukem]

MATCH CUT!

[Spinal]

Whether or not it belongs in that category, it's easily one of the best films I saw last year. Imaginative, hilarious, heartbreaking.

Boy, you know it's a sweep when Mad Max is winning an award for screenplay.

[Lazlo]

Boy, you know it's a sweep when Mad Max is winning an award for screenplay.

Yeah I thought that one was a bit bizarre. The movie was famous for not having a traditional written screenplay.

[Spinal]

Yeah I thought that one was a bit bizarre. The movie was famous for not having a traditional written screenplay.

I only saw Mad Max, Room and Brooklyn. So choosing Brooklyn was a pretty easy decision. However, I'd be curious about Phyllis Nagy's work on Carol, as I love her play, Disappeared.

Because it's not a feature or because you didn't care for it?

I figure if people wanted to nominate it it should be in the category. I personally didn't get blown away by it like others. I think I'm the lone The Good Dinosaur vote.

Eh, a little of both, though I can look past the feature issue. I thought the movie was fine, but don't really get all the hoopla about it. Inside Out was 10x the movie it was, though, and it's disappointing to see it go completely shut out here, not just in animation, but screenplay as well. :(

Kristen Stewart taking best supporting actress sort of makes up for it, though. Awesome to see her actually win. And other than that, I don't really have any complaints. Good stuff here. Thanks for doing this. :)

14 voters. Poo.

14 voters. Poo.I voted but left most of the categories blank (including best picture) because I hadn't seen any of the nominees other than The Revenant.

Massively lopsided. Not saying Fury Road isn't great. But some of those tech awards could have been spread around a bit.

[Peng]

Loving all the results except DiCaprio, even though I myself liked him in the role.

[Melville]

The lopsidedness is amusing. Can't believe Mad Max lost for score but won for screenplay.

World of Tomorrow's win is the best thing here. I wouldn't have disagreed too much if it had won best picture.

[Dukefrukem]

I kinda like there was a movie that MC had consensus on. When was the last time that happened?

[Lazlo]

Loving all the results except DiCaprio, even though I myself liked him in the role.

Of the five he'd be last in my order of preference. I voted for Fassbender.

[Lazlo]

The lopsidedness is amusing. Can't believe Mad Max lost for score but won for screenplay.

I think those are the weirdest results, though the It Follows score is great. I even had it all set up to post that Fury Road had won Best Score and then I looked at the results again. Got a little on autopilot there.

I feel like screenplay should go more for the words/dialogue than the story, which is why I voted for Steve Jobs.

[Lazlo]

I kinda like there was a movie that MC had consensus on. When was the last time that happened?

Moonrise Kingdom won a lot of down-ticket awards but lost Best Picture to Zero Dark Thirty. This year is definitely the most one-sided.

[Lazlo]

Moonrise Kingdom won a lot of down-ticket awards but lost Best Picture to Zero Dark Thirty. This year is definitely the most one-sided.

Looking at my (incomplete) spreadsheet of all the Matchie winners it seems like no movie has won more than 6 or so awards where Fury Road ended up with 10.
