Leonardo DiCaprio bagged the nomination for best actor for The Revenant. The movie also faired greatly in crucial categories. Mad Max: Fury Road and The Martian followed with 10 and 7 nominations each.

This year too the Academy runs the risk of having white washed list. Straight Outta Compton got one nod for original screenplay and Idris Elba, considered to be one of the strong contenders for best-supporting actor category for Beasts of No Nation, is not even selected.
