Now updated with all the winners…

The U.K. cinema chain has gotten behind Leonardo DiCaprio to win the Oscar on Sunday.
Spotlight takes four awards, including Best Film…

High-toned body horror that emotionally and tonally starts on one note and never deviates from it, which becomes rather exhaustingly dull.
Mad Max: Fury Road gets a lot of love…

Winners are indicated. I got 16/24. Pretty good, if I may say so myself.

A debauched end-of-empire horror story disguised as an outrageous comedy, with remarkable performances from Leonardo DiCaprio and Jonah Hill.

Shhh! don’t tell anywhere where you heard all this…

Alternately intriguing and infuriating: it’s very like the sort of movie exuberantly excessive Gatsby himself might have made.

Quentin Tarantino spins a dark fantasia of the pre-Civil War South that is hilarious, ferocious, shocking, and wise, sometimes all at once.
