The Visual Effects Society weighed in with nominations today, with Star Wars leading the way as expected. I think the five noms at the Oscars will be Star Wars, Mad Max, The Martian, The Revenant, and possibly The Walk?

And the sound editors came in today too, with the following:
- Bridge of Spies
- The Hateful Eight

I always forget the difference between sound mixing and editing, but expect the loud action movies to get in there, as always.
