Bn revenant was shot with allit all natural lighting beautifully bef photographed by mr. Emanuel lobesco who won for gravityra and birdman. Bdm he might win this year for theth revenant. A beautiful film and shot in s the hm. It was a tough shoot. Ho i really want george noah to win for mad max. M i think that was one of thene oe most incredible action films of all time. This film blew my mind. My m i would love to see georgerge miller win. Win supporting actor, i reallyy think stallone might finallylo f take it home this year. S y he did not win the best actoreso award for theres a couple thingss against stallone. Sll stallone did win the golden g globe won the critics choice but was not nominated for sagag and idris elba wop. But idris is not nominated for the academy. De well see what happens.
