Complete list of Oscars 2016 nominations

Alejandro González Iñárritu’s epic western The Revenant leads the race for the 2016 Oscars.

The film picked up nominations in half the possible categories, including best picture, as well as a surprise nod for Tom Hardy as best supporting actor for a total of 12 nominations.

Another gritty tale of outback survival – Australian apocalypse hit Mad Max: Fury Road – picked up 10 nominations to take it into second place. Meanwhile a third populist story about a man battling harsh nature and hostile adversaries - sci-fi yarn The Martian – came in third with 10.


Eight films were nominated for best picture, with Spotlight, Bridge of Spies, The Big Short, Room and Brooklyn completing the list. Steven Spielberg, the man behind Bridge of Spies, was not included on the best director shortlist, while George Miller for scored a surprise nod for Mad Max: Fury Road, as did Lenny Abrahamson for Room. However, Martian director Ridley Scott did not get a nomination, despite concerted efforts by the film’s star, Matt Damon (who is up for best actor).

This year, no black actor was nominated.
