here are the academy award nominees for best movie, actor, actress, supporting actor and supporting actress .
clockwise from top left: leonardo dicaprio in
the revenant ,
spotlight ,
cate blanchett in
carol
and christian bale in
the big short .
leonardo dicaprio, sylvester stallone and jennifer lawrence were among the nominees for the 88th academy awards, which were announced thursday morning .
“the revenant” topped all films with 12 nominations, including best picture, setting up best director nominee alejandro iñárritu for a potential repeat of last year’s “birdman” success .
best picture nominee “mad max: fury road” earned 10 nominations — including a nod for george miller for best director — while “the martian” raked in seven. “spotlight, ” “the big short, ” “room” and “bridge of spies” were also nominated in multiple categories .
the revenant
leads the 2016 oscar nomination pack with 12 nods, but
mad max: fury road
could prove to be a dark horse, racking up 10 nominations. here are this year' s other notable academy award nominees. (nicki demarco / the washington post )
on sunday were nominated, including brie larson for “room, ” matt damon for “the martian” and, of course, dicaprio for “the revenant. ” there has been particular interest in that last potential nominee, given that dicaprio has never won an oscar and
the oscars ceremony will take place on feb. 28 and will be broadcast live at 7 p. m. on abc .
best picture “spotlight” “the big short” “bridge of spies” “brooklyn” “mad max: fury road” “the martian” “the revenant” “room” immediate reaction: the academy can nominate up to 10 contenders, which leaves space for some less typical entries. this year, it went with eight options, which means we have the movies we knew we’d see — “the revenant, ” “the martian, ” “spotlight” — but also some less weighty entries, such as “the big short” and “mad max: fury road. ” the one glaring omission (sorry, “star wars” fans, it’s not “the force awakens”) is “carol, ” which seemed custom - made for awards glory .
actor in a leading role bryan cranston, “trumbo” matt damon, “the martian” leonardo dicaprio, “the revenant” michael fassbender, “steve jobs” eddie redmayne, “the danish girl” immediate reaction: the only name on this list that really matters is leonardo dicaprio. barring some unthinkable fraud (what if he secretly shot the whole movie on a soundstage? maybe that bison liver was a strawberry jam - covered mushroom ?), he has this category locked down .
actress in a leading role cate blanchett, “carol” brie larson, “room” jennifer lawrence, “joy” charlotte rampling, “45 years” saoirse ronan, “brooklyn” immediate reaction: this shakes out a lot like we would have guessed. golden globe winner larson, arguably the front - runner, is on the list, alongside other sure bets, such as blanchett and lawrence. the one mild surprise is rampling, who was phenomenal in “45 years” but didn’t get a golden globe nomination .
best animated feature film “anomalisa” “boy and the world” “inside out” “shaun the sheep movie” “when marnie was there” immediate reaction: pixar had two feature films this year, so the assumption was that the studio would end up with two oscar nominations. that didn’t happen. awards front - runner “inside out” nabbed a nod, but the studio’s slightly less fawned - over “the good dinosaur” did not. instead, the little known “boy & the world” snuck in. meanwhile, charlie kaufman’s existential puppet show, “anomalisa, ” also got some love .
best foreign language film “embrace of the serpent” “mustang” “son of saul” “theeb” “a war” immediate reaction: the hungarian film “son of saul” is the picture to beat here. the gut punch of a movie also won the golden globe for its depiction of a sonderkommando at auschwitz — a jewish man who was both a prisoner and a worker, tasked with burning the dead .
best original screenplay “spotlight, ” written by josh singer and tom mccarthy “bridge of spies, ” written by matt charman and ethan coen and joel coen “ex machina, ” written by alex garland “inside out, ” screenplay by pete docter, meg lefauve, josh cooley; original story by pete docter, ronnie del carmen “straight outta compton, ” screenplay by jonathan herman and andrea berloff; story by s. leigh savidge and alan wenkus and andrea berloff immediate reaction: this is an eclectic category. we get one animated entry alongside the science fiction of “ex machina” and the true story of “spotlight. ” meanwhile, this is the only nomination for the thrilling n. w. a biopic “straight outta compton. ”
best costume design “carol, ” sandy powell “cinderella, ” sandy powell “the danish girl, ” paco delgado “mad max: fury road, ” jenny beavan “the revenant, ” jacqueline west immediate reaction: three - time oscar winner sandy powell is cleaning up this year with two nominations: one for her sumptuous 1950s suits and dresses for “carol” and the other for her fantastical designs for “cinderella. ” on the other end of the spectrum, the academy gave some love to “the revenant” (moccasins, bearskin capes) and the dusty, post - apocalyptic leisurewear of “mad max: fury road. ”
best sound mixing “bridge of spies, ” andy nelson, gary rydstrom and drew kunin “mad max: fury road, ” chris jenkins, gregg rudloff and ben osmo “the martian, ” paul massey, mark taylor and mac ruth “the revenant, ” jon taylor, frank a. montaño, randy thom and chris duesterdiek “star wars: the force awakens, ” andy nelson, christopher scarabosio and stuart wilson
could a blockbuster win the oscar? with ‘mad max, ’ ‘star wars, ’ it doesn’t seem impossible .

boyega: (as finn) that' s the only name they ever gave me .
isaac: (as poe) well, i ain' t using it. fn, huh? finn - i' m going to call you finn. is that all right ?
brandon: this is maryann. you know, the big explosions, the things that going on in the background, they don' t really matter that much. they' re going on anyway. until you put a sweet moment or a funny moment or a comment moment or ...
martin: well, congratulations. i' m not going to ask who you' re wearing. i' ll just wait to be surprised ...

each year, ace selects two applicants for its internship program. this program gives an opportunity to talented and highly motivated college graduates who wish to pursue a career in post - production motion picture and tv editorial .
the structure of the ace internship program emphasizes assistant picture editing. the program includes :
orientation (begins day of in - person interviews), interns are assigned editing rooms where they shadow assistant editors .
observation of work in a variety of editing venues: scripted television, features, and reality television .
exploration of post production facilities: lab, telecine room, vfx house, sound effects and music editing rooms, adr and dub stages .
these offer the opportunity to observe different styles and requirements of each room and see what assistant editors are expected to deliver during the making of a project. it is an opportunity for interns to absorb, question, compare and contrast what they’ve learned in school and on the job. during this time there are many opportunities to network with other interns, assistant editors, editors and filmmakers .
before and after the program, the internship committee meets with the interns to prepare, encourage, and mentor them. interns are expected to :
- email a daily journal to their assigned mentor (an ace member) recapping what they have learned each day of the program .
- work at the ace blue ribbon panel screenings where ace members vote for films nominated for an eddie award .
- attend the eddie nominee cocktail party where interns receive their plaques of participation .
- work at the invisible art, visible artist event (where a panel of the current oscar nominees screen sequences from their films) the day prior to the academy awards .
- write an article for the ace cinema editor magazine describing his or her experience .
- give a short speech at the ace annual meeting describing your experience with the ace internship program .
it is also expected that ace interns will return the following year to participate in the orientation of new interns. this helps foster the basic ideology of mentoring .
contact us if you are interested in finding out how to sponsor a student program with ace .
the ace internship program begins with a seminar which all applicants are invited to attend. the cost for this seminar is included in the application fee .
it takes place in october, and consists of four separate panels of editors and assistant editors with a wide variety of experience in features, scripted television, and reality. over the course of the once day lecture series, attendees will learn what it takes to become a successful assistant editor in the tv / film industry .
since the inception of the ace internship program, many of those who have gone through the program have gone on to have successful careers in editorial. here are just a few :
