Mad Max: Fury Road, The Revenant lead 2016 Oscar nominations

Just days after The Revenant was handed the Golden Globe for Best Picture, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has announced its nominations for the upcoming 88th annual Academy Awards. It was a big year for science fiction and genre films, with The Martian and Star Wars: The Force Awakens leading many of the categories, and a big year for George Miller and Mad Max: Fury Road.

Life of Pi director Ang Lee, 13 Hours actor John Krasinski and Crimson Peak director Guillermo del Toro delivered the nominations in two separate announcements early Thursday morning.

While most of the nominations seemed pretty obvious, there were a few names and titles that were surprisingly ignored this voting season, including Creed and its star, Michael B. Jordan.
