Is Academy Awards victor Mad Max

Alejandro Inarritu took home Best Director and after an outstanding awards season, and Leonardo DiCaprio broke his Oscars drought, bagging himself his first Oscar.

But the two Australian stuntmen behind some of the major action in the George Miller flick Mad Max: Fury Road have expressed their disappointment that their craft is not recognised at the prestigious film awards.

“It never ceases to annoy me how many people it takes to make me look competent”, said Gibson in his acceptance speech.

George Miller, the director of the movie is put forward for the Best Director award in Oscar 2016. The model-actress who starred in 1979 film “Star Trek: The Motion Picture” passed away in 1998 at the age of 49.

Nominated for 10 Oscars, it accomplished a near-clear sweep of the technical awards with six wins. The journalism drama won the Oscar for the best original screenplay.

“It was another Mad Max film”, Beavan said Miller told her, which gave her the freedom to do what she liked. “Scott Pilgrim” alum Brie Larson won Best Actress for her work in “Room”. The film has broken the record of the maximum Oscars won by an Australian film.

Best supporting actress favorite Alicia Vikander (‘The Danish Girl”) faces tough competition from “Carol” star Rooney Mara, on her second nomination, and previous best actress victor Kate Winslet, acclaimed for her work in “Steve Jobs’.

A widely-anticipated best supporting actor Oscar for Sylvester Stallone, who reprises his turn as underdog boxer Rocky Balboa in ‘Creed, ‘ would be one of the stories of the night, nearly four decades after his only other nominations for the franchise’s original outing, ‘Rocky’. Of course, with all speculations around this year’s Academy Awards, we know only one thing for sure – nothing is set in stone.

Meanwhile, Pixar’s “Inside Out” won the best animated feature film Academy Award.

Foreign Language Film: “Son of Saul”.

Brooklyn and Bridge of Spies were both deftly crafted, with subtle yet successful performances by Saoirse Ronan and Tom Hanks, but I place both these films as longshots of this year’s nominees. With all these awards, “Mad Max: Fury Road” has ensured that Australia has hauled the maximum number of Oscars this year! “I said that’s precisely why you have to do the movie”.

Documentary short: A three-way race between “Body Team 12”, “Claude Lanzmann: Spectres of the Shoah” and “A Girl in the River”. Adam McKay and Charles Randolph took the Oscar for best adapted screenplay for “The Big Short”, their self-described “trauma-dy” about the mortgage meltdown of 2008.
