Leonardo DiCaprio 'Deserves An Oscar' For 'The Revenant,' Says Jon Favreau

Bing has proven itself to be pretty adept at making predictions in the past, so it's definitely something worth paying attention to if you're making bets on which actors and movies will win the major Oscar categories this year.

However, "Mad Max: Fury Road's" George Miller has earned strong support from critics' organizations, and if enough Oscar voters have been impressed by his handling of the film's wild bikers and gleeful action sequences, he could sneak in.

Directed by Adam McKay "The Big Short" stars Dede Gardner, Jeremy Kleiner, Arnon Milchan and Brad Pitt.

Not only have fans of "The Revenant" actor arranged to gather in Central London to celebrate a potential win of DiCaprio; the Odeon cinema in Leicester Square has even changed his name in "Leodeon" (with the word Leo plated in gold) to show solidarity to the Titanic's star in the run-up to the Oscar ceremony.

Thousands march in central London to oppose nuclear arms
Protesters converged on London from around Britain and CND claimed that 60,000 people joined the march. Ms Sturgeon said: "It is the norm in the world today to be nuclear-free".

Only five candidates can make this shortlist, so Lenny Abrahamson should be very proud of being selected for his work on Room, which imaginatively recreates Emma Donoghue's chilling novel.

It is going to come down to three films: The Big Short, The Revenant, and Spotlight. I felt like the book was great and when you have situations like that where the book is phenomenal and the movie is phenomenal as well, it shows the director was able to get every idea and every creation in the book into the film and I thought he did a great job. The Academy loves English actor Eddie Redmayne, who won a year ago for The Theory of Everything, but his performance in the deadly tiresome Danish Girl is arid.

Let's face it, the bear will probably win.

Leonardo Wilhelm DiCaprio is an American actor and film producer.

"Room" actress Brie Larson might be given the Best Actress trophy for her performance in the movie.

"I failed as a negotiator because I gave up early". Unfortunately that means both "Bridge of Spies" and "Brooklyn" are eliminated from the list. Don't stress: We've gathered all the crucial information, so the only thing you have to worry about is your Best Picture pick. On Sunday, we will get to know if Leonardo will win his first Oscar or not.

Best supporting actress: Of the acting categories, this is the most unsettled, but oddsmakers are leaning toward "The Danish Girl's" Alicia Vikander.

Rounding out the group are J.J. Abrams, Abraham Attah, Emily Blunt, Steve Carell, Henry Cavill, Priyanka Chopra, Louis C.K., Sacha Baron Cohen, Chris Evans, Tina Fey, Jennifer Garner, Ryan Gosling, Kevin Hart, Michael B. Jordan, Byung-hun Lee, Rachel McAdams, Dev Patel, Daisy Ridley, Margot Robbie, Andy Serkis, Sarah Silverman, Jacob Tremblay, Sofia Vergara, Kerry Washington, and Pharrell Williams.
