I think it is really interesting how this year there are three films with legit chances to win.  Usually you have the favorite and the one dark horse that is more the anti-favorite.

I actually really enjoyed the films this year after not really being impressed with much of anything in '13 and '14.

To me The Revenant was the best but I would not be upset if Spotlight won, both were great.  Mad Max: Fury Road and The Big Short would have been my choices had they come out either of the past two years, but not this one.

Leo needs to win and I would vote for Mark Rylance (Bridge of Spies) and Sairose Ronan (Brooklyn) but I am pretty sure Stallone and Larsen win.  No problem with the latter but I am disappointed that Stallone will beat better performances.  He really is fifth best in that category, Steve Carrell should be there in his spot.

The no doubter to me is Emmanuel Lubezki (The Revenant) for Best Cinematography.  That was just brilliant.

Oh yeah, I did see Mad Max....just surprised by that movie altogether, really didn't like it at all.

I remember going to see it, and from start to finish, not realizing exactly what was happening or what I was watching. But I enjoyed it if that makes any sense. As something to watch, I thought it was awesome. As a full blown great movie, mehhhh.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      Its completely and utterly bootlicking at this point.  If you cannot acknowledge that using 3 picks on a rb with a torn acl in the 2nd round isnt a bad pick then you simply havent a clue about football.  Sorry man it is what it is.  And its insanely laughable you are trying to strawman this argument using other players.  And what fuging facts are you bringing that is justifing morgan using 3 goddamn picks on him?  I cannot wait to hear that.

      ESPN's Top 10 Impact Rookies(non-1st Round)

      Scourton's interviews are telling to me that it's only a matter of time before he could really put it together.  His limitation tool-wise that I see is in his bend, but at the leaner size, it looks like it wasn't a problem at Purdue.   He has a good moveset and reads leverages very well (vet level well).  Plays both the speed/quickness (great change of direction) and has a power game with good hand usage.  Moves from what I've seen in my digs: I'm seeing cross-chop, fake crossers into bull, bull rush, spin (his preferred move of choice), hand shuck.  He's not unrefined by any means.   If he can do 2 things---I'm feeling confident from seeing his interviews that we have a real dude on our hands: 1) Diversifying his moveset/how it's deployed - Over-reliant on some, but again, he has a growing palette.  And is already great with his hands so things are in-place to coach up. 2) Developing a counter moveset and starting to play the chess game with an OT - He's very good at reading leverage, knowing when to change things up during a play.  But NFL coaching should start to teach him how to really create a plan based on an opponent.  What to throw at a guy first, how to confuse with fakes/counters, etc.  How to play against these tackles as a game progresses.   Overall, he has some things that give me serious optimism: Run Defense, speed moves, power moves, he's super young and has the size/length.  When you really spell it all out, I think we should get excited.  Temper expectations from a stat sheet standpoint, but he should be able to go in and make an impact.
