2015 OSCAR WINNERS

It was a tough year in the predictions department, as I hit only 16/24. Missed out on a few gut choices, and there were several big surprises and upsets for sure. But that's what always makes playing this game fun, year and year. In the end, Mad Max swept most of the techs, taking home the lions share with 6 Oscars. The Revenant made history in several ways with it's 3 wins, and Spotlight became the first film about journalism to win Best Picture, as well as the first film to win Picture and only 1 other award since 1952! Talk about spreading the wealth.
