Being a fan of movies and that the Oscar Nominations have now been released, I'd like to provide some insight on firstly, what to look for and secondly what I think really deserves the award.
Best Picture
This year the nominations for Best Picture has some pretty heavy competition in this category but in my opinion their are really only 3 contenders. Those would be The Revenant, Spotlight and Room. If I had to choose which one of these I enjoyed most I would without a doubt say Spotlight. When it comes right down to it, a movie can have shock value (Room) it can be tense (The Revenant) but nothing beats clever writing, excellent dialogue and brilliant cinematography. However if I were to speculate on which one of the three would win, odds are it's going to be the Revenant. Spotlight was better but it wasn't as mainstream as some of the other
Best Director
Right now for the Best Director, I fully expect Alejandro G. Inarritu to win. Based on the nature of The Revenant and the amount of effort and use of practical effects. Despite in my opinion Spotlight being a better movie, I do think that The Revenant deserves it based on the sheer amount of effort put into it.
