Movies of a Petite Aspie

As I've done for the past I'm-not-sure-how-many years, I intend to watch every single Oscar-nominated film, even the shorts and song nominees (yes, that means 50 Shades).  I'm going to rank every single nominated performance based on my letter grade of that film.  I still have many more to see, which I will put under TBS (for To Be Seen), and will update the list as I see each film.  (Reviews to come later , if I have time) Ranking/Grades A -- Star Wars: The Force Awakens (Sound Mixing, Sound Editing, Original Score, Visual Effects, Film Editing) A -- Inside Out (Animated Feature, Original Screenplay) A -- Room (Actress, Picture, Director, Adapted Screenplay) A -- Brooklyn (Picture, Actress, ADapted Screenplay)   A -- Amy (Documentary Feature) A -- The Big Short (Director, Picture, Supporting Actor, Film Editing, Adapted Screenplay) A -- Shaun the Sheep Movie (Animated Feature)  A -- World of Tomorrow (Animated Short) A -- Shok (Live Action Short)...

Despite having only seen a handful of the films, TV shows, and performances nominated for Golden Globes this year, I am going to do my best to predict the winners and runners-up for this year's Ricky Gervais-hosted -- and celebrity-roasting -- ceremony.   Best Motion Picture -- Drama Winner: Spotlight Runner-up: Mad Max: Fury Road Best Motion Picture -- Musical or Comedy Winner: The Big Short Runner-up: Trainwreck Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture -- Drama Winner: Brie Larson -- Room Runner-up: Cate Blanchett -- Carol Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture -- Drama Winner: Leonardo DiCaprio -- The Revenant Runner-up: Eddie Redmayne -- The Danish Girl Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture -- Musical or Comedy Winner: Amy Schumer -- Trainwreck Runner-up: Jennifer Lawrence -- Joy Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture -- Musical or Comedy Winner: Steve Carell -- The Big Short Runner-up: Christian Bale -- ...
