A much requested chat, here for your typing pleasure. And we have a variety of things to discuss, from the highly disappointing fact that, once again, the acting nominations are going solely to white actors (for my money, Michael B Jordan has now been robbed two years in a row), to the question of whether Leo's already written his acceptance speech (yes), or if we think Brie Larson is going to pull out this win (I do, and I hope she does). To quote the esteemed poet Billy Crystal, "Oscar, Oscar! Who will win?" What do you think? What's the worst snub? Which category has it all wrapped up (I think Leo's got this one in the bag)? Who will take Best Supporting Actress, AKA The One Where Anything Can Happen (I think Vikander, although the Academy does like Winslet)? As much as I love Bryan Cranston, has anyone even seen *Trumbo?* On that tip, did anyone even see *Jobs?* What is going on over there, AMPAS?

[Here's a complete list of nominees](https://www.latimes.com/entertainment/envelope/la-et-mn-oscars-2016-nominations-winners-list-story.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), but for ease of use, you can fin the so-called marquee categories after the jump:
