I am hoping the mavericks in the director's branch will reject George Miller's atrocious direction of the worst movie of 2015 and instead choose Lenny Abrahamson's amazing direction of Room. Otherwise, I am in agreement with your other 4 selections. If the academy goes for the awful The Revenant I will never forgive them! He will get a nomination, unfortunately, robbing much more deserving nominees such as Tom Hooper, Jay Roach, Ryan Coogler, Danny Boyle, John Crowley, and Todd Haynes. We agree that Adam McKay is getting a nomination.
