Published by

In the madness of Oscar nomination week I neglected to post the final 2016 Oscar nomination predictions from the Forum Oscar Polls but here they are. Overall, the forums did quite well yet again. They nailed Best Actor and Best Actress and missed other categories by just one with the exception of Best Director, which threw everyone for a loop when Ridley Scott (The Martian) was snubbed in favor of Lenny Abrahamson (Room) and Todd Haynes and Carol missed out on the top two. Click on the category link to see the closed poll results.
