• ✔ Bridge of Spies
• Ex Machina ()
• Inside Out ()
• Spotlight
• Straight Outta Compton ()

WINNER: Spotlight Predictions: Well, I'm voting for Ex Machina but I have yet to see the film... that or the Inside Out, mainly because sci-fi is usually ignored and because animations deserve more love too.

BEST ADAPTED SCREENPLAY

• The Big Short
• ✔ Brooklyn
• ✔ Carol
• ✔ The Martian

WINNER: The Big Short NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Predictions: I read both Room and The Martian and no matter how much I love The Martian, the book, Room was adapted way better! The Martian did a great job, but lots of the humor from the book didn't translate to the film. Room built on the book and made it even more awesome!
