Kelley’s oscar predictions By MADISON BROOK
“Some people can’t believe in themselves until someone else believes in them first,” Robin Williams said in the iconic movie Good Will Hunting. This line represents how many of the actors and actresses that America has come to love got their start in Hollywood. Someone believed in them first, whether it was their parents or the casting agent that hired them for the small blockbuster shows that ended up taking the world by storm. As Hollywood is in the midst of award season, the most anticipated night is yet to come: the Academy Awards- also known as the Oscars. With this year’s lineup including many riveting movies such as The Martian and The Revenant which were led by Matt Damon and Leonardo DiCaprio respectively, the competition is heating up for what promises to

be another epic Oscar evening. With many experts debating on who will take home the coveted golden statue, many Bishop Kelley students casted their votes with predictions of who will win in the major categories of the 2016 Oscars. Kelley students showed an overwhelming support for Leonardo DiCaprio to take home the title of Best Actor in a Leading Role for the movie The Revenant. With this being his fifth Oscar nomination, fans are rooting for him to finally accept this highly acclaimed award. In this film, DiCaprio’s character fights for his life after being brutally attacked by a bear when he was exploring the wilderness of America in the 1800’s
proving, once again, Leonardo DiCaprio’s talent as an actor. Students also predict that Jennifer Lawrence will take home the award for Best Actress in a Leading Role for the movie Joy. This is Jennifer Lawrence’s fourth nomination, and she previously won for her performance in Silver Linings Playbook. In the movie Joy, Lawrence portrays real-life business entrepreneur Joy Mangano while she struggles with family issues and bringing her inventions into the public eye. Jennifer Lawrence continues to show her diversity as an actress while impressing moviegoers across the country. The final award of the night is
always the best picture. This year’s nominees make the competition for the award even more intense. It was a close race between The Martian and The Revenant for Bishop Kelley students, but the final result was The Martian. This movie stars Matt Damon after his character, Mark Watney, gets stranded on Mars when his crew believed he was dead. Throughout the movie, we witness the hardships that he undertakes while NASA searches for a way to bring him home. Win or lose, this movie is a definite must-see. With all of the incredible movies that were released this past year, the Oscars are bound to be an enjoyable night. Tune in February 28th to see how well the Bishop Kelley students’ predictions compare to those of the Oscar voters.
