Spotlight |
| |
Folks it doesn't get closer than this. Spotlight is still ahead, but by a hair, and appears more and more a default. |

Carol |
| |
The NYFCC win has all but assured it a nomination. |

The Martian |
| |
A few weeks ago considered an outside shot, somehow the word of mouth The Martian has built is such that failing to make the cut at this point would be stunning. |

The Revenant |
| |
Outside the top 3, the Revenant is making a serious push up. The screening showed that it's a contender, even if too violent to pull it off. |

Joy |
| |
I've moved Joy down because others have won awards recently, but I have a strong feeling people are underestimating this feel-good, classic American story. It will be too hard to ignore, and I could see it winning it all, to be honest. |

Room |
| |
Room still has the TIFF People's Choice win, which tends to yield at least a nod, even though no TIFF movie has won it all in over a half decade. |

Brooklyn |
| |
This middle pack is also immensely crowded, mostly by pictures that are beloved by critics. |

Bridge of Spies |
| |
This movie just needs to hold on to enough support at the top to sneak through. |

Inside Out |
| |
The juggernaut animation awards it's winning (including it's recent sweep of the Annie nominations), could help it. |

Mad Max |

Mad Max finds itself back in the picture after the surprising NBR win. |
