And that’s it for the Oscar nominations liveblog. Check out theguardian.com/film later for our special episode of The Dailies, in which Catherine, Ben and Henry will be screaming “WHERE’S THE LEGO MOVIE?!?!” a lot (that joke, brought to you courtesy of 2015).
The 88th academy awards will take place on 28 February. Join us for a night of glitz, glamour and gastroenteritis after – befuddled by a night of feverish typing – we use the break afforded by the in memorium section to pounce on a sweaty cheeseboard. See you then!

A quick run down of what’s nominated for what here, in the form of very pretty pictures:

And now for the real news! Which giant media company gets to slap itself on the back the hardest for gathering the most nominations? And the reddest, rawest backs belong to ... the executives at Fox, which has picked up loads of noms for The Martian, Joy and The Revenant. How delightful!
Nothing for Netflix, nor Amazon Studios. Our lofty predictions about 2015 being the year streaming won over the establishment were way off the mark.
For studios, Fox is clear winner. All have noms to cheer but Universal must be upset at snubs for Compton, Furious 7 song & Sorkin. #Oscars

Vanity Fair’s Katey Rich has a message for all the Hardy haters:
OH and Tom Hardy is great in The Revenant so you can all shut up about that one too.
— kateyrich (@kateyrich) January 14, 2016
While Indiewire’s Anne Thompson agrees ...
Tom Hardy deserves that Oscar nom not only for 'Revenant' but 'Legend' and 'Mad Max: Fury Road.' Actors respect him.

You can read news on the nominations here:
It’s an ever so white year again! Nothing for Idris Elba, who was a hot favourite for best supporting actor or Will Smith or Michael B Jordan who were potential best actor nominees.
Plus Straight Outta Compton was denied a best picture nomination.
Twitter isn’t happy:
Second year in a row without a single non-white actor nominated. #OscarsSoWhite

Dear Academy, #OscarsSoWhite? Again? In a year with CREED, STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON, and BEASTS OF NO NATION? What more did you need?

The breakdown by film is as follows:
The Revenant – 12
Mad Max: Fury Road – 10
The Martian – 7
Carol – 6
Spotlight – 6
Bridge of Spies – 6
The Big Short – 5
Star Wars: The Force Awakens – 5
Room – 4
The Danish Girl – 4
Brooklyn – 3
The Hateful Eight – 3
Sicario – 3
Updated
The snubs continue...
As well as missing out on a best picture nomination, the highly touted Carol also missed out on a best director nomination for Todd Haynes.
Aaron Sorkin’s very, very, very wordy screenplay for Steve Jobs was also overlooked, as was Quentin Tarantino’s even wordier script for The Hateful Eight.
Updated
Charlotte Rampling was feared to be a snub after failing to be nominated for either a SAG or a Golden Globe, but she scored a best actress nomination for her devastating work in 45 Years, our film of 2015. Here’s our chat with her last year:

Here’s our chat with best director nominee Lenny Abrahamson, whose film Room surprised with four nominations:
Updated
It’s over! It’s good news for The Revenant with 12, Mad Max: Fury Road with 10 and The Martian on 7.
Surprising snubs for Carol, which lost out on a best picture slot, and Idris Elba, who didn’t get a nomination for best supporting actor.
Surprising inclusions are Tom Hardy for The Revenant and Lenny Abrahamson for best director for Room.

After last year’s nominees were announced, #OscarsSoWhite immediately trended, and kicked off a conversation about why the academy seemed so reticent to reward actors of colour. (It was the year when David Oyelowo was snubbed for Selma.)
Will this year be any different? Idris Elba is the most likely actor to stop the hashtag with his performance in Beasts of No Nation predicted to pick up a best supporting actor nomination. It’s also possible that Straight Outta Compton could score a best picture nod, and Will Smith has an outside chance of sneaking in with a best actor nom for Concussion.
Here’s a quick reminder of how great Elba is in Beasts (a film that deserves more than one nomination today)
Early last year, we made some ambitious predictions for who might end up on 2016’s list of nominees. While some were rather off the mark (Meryl Streep and Jake Gyllenhaal), we are standing by the others (Leonardo DiCaprio, Cate Blanchett)
This year’s nominees are to be announced by the unlikely gang of John Krasinski, Guillermo del Toro, Ang Lee and academy president Cheryl Boone Isaacs. Our top prediction for mispronounced name is poor old Saoirse Ronan, likely to be nominated for best actress. During the Golden Globe nominations, Dennis Quaid called her Shisha.
This week on The Late Show, she talked about the constant mispronunciation of her name. The worst/best is Saucy, apparently:
Last week, a handful of our writers dreamed of their ideal nominations. Imagine a world where Tilda Swinton got recognised for Trainwreck. JUST IMAGINE:
The nominations tend to feature a few surprises in among all the predictability. Last year, Bradley Cooper sneaking in for American Sniper and Marion Cotillard getting a nod for Two Days, One Night were deviations from the formula.
This year, could Creed shock with nominations for best picture and best actor for Michael B Jordan? Could Charlize Theron nab a best actress nomination for Mad Max: Fury Road? Or maybe love for The Revenant could lead to a best supporting actor nom for Tom Hardy?

Ever the wallflower, Quentin Tarantino has expressed a desire for at least four nominations for his latest, The Hateful Eight. “I’m hoping I get nominated for best screenplay,” he said this week. “I’m hoping Jennifer Jason Leigh gets nominated for best supporting actress. I’m hoping Sam [Samuel L Jackson] gets nominated for best actor, and I’m hoping Ennio Morricone gets nominated for best composer.”
The film has had a mixed reception, and it remains to be seen if the academy will warm to it. Morricone is the most likely nominee.

Incredibly sad news today that Alan Rickman has died. Somehow, the legendary actor was never nominated for an Oscar. More here:
How have the possible best picture contenders done at the box office so far?
If we’re following predictors and Star Wars: the Force Awakens doesn’t get nominated, then Ridley Scott’s Golden Globe-winning film The Martian is out in front with $595m worldwide. Mad Max: Fury Road is up next with $375m, Straight Outta Compton follows behind with $200m and then Bridge of Spies with $154m.
After The Revenant opened huge in the US with $39m last weekend, expect it to be up in the same region soon.
The host of this year’s ceremony will be Chris Rock. A teaser trailer for the event was released earlier this week, featuring some of the year’s big movies. But is it also a spoiler for potential nominees? If so, expect nods for Joy, Room, Creed, Brooklyn, Trainwreck, Steve Jobs, The Martian, Straight Outta Compton, Jurassic World and Star Wars: The Force Awakens

The Hollywood Reporter has used MATHS to figure out which films will be nominated. They’ve used “awards indicators” and previous nominations in their calculations. According to their findings, the frontrunners are Spotlight, Leonardo DiCaprio and Brie Larson. They also predict that Charlotte Rampling will get a best actress nomination despite SAG and Golden Globe snubs, so GO MATH!
