The nominees for Best Brilliance are: Deadpool Fences Finding Dory The Lobster Deadpool Presented by Dasha Nekrassova #9 Best Supporting Actress Hello. Support. In Hollywood we have many words for it. Alimony. A carton of cigarettes sent to a rehab facility. A wonder bra. None of that applies to these five gifted women whose performances are in themselves a masterful definition of support. They are the foundation on which so much of their movies are built. So, in the category for Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role, the nominees are: Bonnie Aarons in The Conjuring 2 Naomie Harris in Collateral Beauty Callie Hernandez in Blake Lively in Cafe Society and Kristen Stewart in Cafe Society Bonnie Aarons in The Conjuring 2 Presented by Andrey Goverdovsky #10 Best Movie Not from 2015 Movies have been going on for a long time, and I m not talking about Silence.

The nominees for Best Movie Not from 2015 are: Bringing Up Baby The Broadway Melody Casablanca Notorious Rebel Without a Cause #11 Best Movie No One Has an Opinion About Each year, five tremendously neutral movies are nominated by their peers for their stunningly average releases.

Here are the nominees for Best Other Language Film: The Jungle Book Love & Friendship Love & Friendship Presented by Meghan Roche and Maura Mullally #15 Best Sounds We hear them every day.

So we bang on every door. The nominees for Best Sounds are: American Honey Arrival Everybody Wants Some!! Moana #16 Best Visuals People want to talk about how movies are shot. But Visuals are about a lot more than that. They re an unexpected breeze blowing through your open door. They re black water seeping through our flatscreen TV.

The five nominees for Best Visuals are: Arrival Billy Lynn s Long Halftime Walk Mother s Day The Shallows Mother s Day Presented by Sophie Corra #17 Best Script Staring at the blank page before you.

The nominees for Best Actor in a Leading Role are: Joe Alwyn, Billy Lynn s Long Halftime Walk Ryan Gosling, Tom Hanks, Sully Blake Jenner, Everybody Wants Some!! Ryan Reynolds, Deadpool Tom Hanks in Sully Presented by Bridget Flower #19 Best Director Dreamers come in all shapes and sizes. Some dream of becoming teachers, salesmen, serious firefighters. Some dream of creating internert start-ups or running for political office. Some don t have any specific reason to dream. They just do. They dream of opening their own abstracting business and starting a family. They dream that they ll give birth to more dreamers, that the cycle will continue beyond them. With so many stuck in the past, we look to our dreams for signs of the future. Without further ado, here are the five dreamers nominated for Best Director: Fede Alvarez for Don t Breathe Damien Chazelle for Clint Eastwood for Sully Ang Lee for Billy Lynn s Long Halftime Walk Denis Villeneuve for Arrival And the Film Fun Award goes to: [Pretend to open an envolope or something] Damien Chazelle for Presented by Dasha Nekrasova #20 Best Actress
Rachel McAdams. Lindsay Lohan. Gina Carano. These are just some of the names of the amazing women who have graced the podium for this category in years past. At the Academy Awards, it s pretty rare for the winner of Best Actress to coincide with the winner for Best Picture. The last time this happened was in 2005, with Hillary Swank and Million Dollar Baby. Here at Film Fun we do things a little differently. The nominees for Best Actress in a Leading Role are: Amy Adams in Arrival Sasha Lane in American Honey Blake Lively in The Shallows Emma Stone in and Zhao Tao in Mountains May Depart Emma Stone in Presented by Mike Spreter and Keaton Ventura, co-founders of Film Fun #21 Best Picture Movies don t expect you to see them.
