The Revenant is a brilliant movie and DiCaprio's performance astounding, so I'm glad he got it. Movie also won Best Cinematography which it also deserves.
Personally, I also consider the score by Ryuichi Sakamoto, Alva Noto, and Bryce Dessner to be the best of 2015 but Ennio Morricone more than deserves an Oscar (and a Hollywood Star) after so many fantastic film scores, and his new music for The Hateful Eight really was something else. But Sakamoto's score, man... Minimalist and ambient and really, really good.

I can't wait to see this movie. DiCaprio is amazing.
My wife and I just saw The Witch. Damn was that intense. The music was great too.
Speaking of the USA. Pray for us that we get our first woman president instead of our first orange, billionaire, reality tv star president.
Fuck.

I watched everything that had DiCaprio in it EXCEPT for this movie, and it's precisely the one which got him an Oscar. I know DiCaprio apparently lost the ability to do bad acting, but I'm now dying to know what the fuss is about with this movie.

I'm not against her being a woman but she's an awful person who doesn't deserve to be the representative of the country.
Bearing witness that I, Bloody Rayne, WAS NOT THE ONE WHO OPENED THE CAN OF POLITICAL WORMS IN THIS THREAD, I shall now give my two cents.
Morally, I prefer Doctor Ben Carson. I've followed his career with great interest and I believe he is, without a doubt, the man with the best moral fiber and character in this election. But, he's far from electable, which is a damn shame.
Next, we have Ted Cruz, who called out his own party leadership for being filthy liars ON THE SENATE FLOOR. IN THOSE WORDS. His record is that of a man who stands for the Constitution and calls things as he sees them with minimal sugarcoating, and I have observed him to be a man of excellent quality.
Marco Rubio is the third that I favor, as while many lambaste his role in the so-called "Gang of Eight" bill, I refuse because I can see the greater principle behind it: Rubio is a man of great conviction, like Ted Cruz or Doctor Carson, but he is also willing and able to involve his political opposition in the legislative process in a way they will accept, which is a valuable ability for any world leader, and the Republican's patron saint, Ronald Reagan, also exhibited these qualities.
On the Democrat side, it's slim pickings this time around, and I cannot in any way say anything favorable about Hilary Clinton. She's a scoundrel, a thief, and a documented liar. Furthermore, she is under active FBI investigation for federal felonies, and a charge of treason may actually result if they find enough substantive evidence, which by their own admission, they almost have enough already to pull that off. She shouldn't be running at all until she is acquitted on those grounds alone.
Bernie Sanders, I respect. His knowledge of how economics and international politics work is frighteningly lacking, but the man has a good heart, a consistent voting record, no meaningful criminal activity on his record, a keen sense of what's wrong in the country (I don't care much for his solutions, but a reliable ear to the ground is much better than nothing) and he's starkly honest. If Sanders could convince me that he could counter his shortcomings with a decent bipartisan cabinet, he'd stand a chance at getting my vote.
Donald Trump is a man I trust about as far as I can throw him (which is about as far as I can throw Clinton), so Trump or Clinton is elected, I might be sorely tempted to winter over in Norway for 4 or so years and get in touch with my ancestral roots while I wait for someone more qualified for the job.

Oh I'm ALL for Bernie Sanders. He's the best candidate by far.
But I honestly think Clinton will win the primaries. That's what my gut is telling me.
I would take Hillary Clinton a million times over the bigot, racist, sexist, HUGE loser they call Donald Trump.

BUT HE'S BATSHIT NUTS THOUGH HE'S COMPARED THE MODERN U.S. WITH NAZI GESTAPOS :rollseyes:
Yeah, that's more or less the boat I'm in with Sanders. Might not have the know-how for solutions for certain things go, but the man's stuck to his guns for thirty-odd years (something few politicians can claim), has a documented history of getting Congress to work with him (a crucial aspect of the presidency), and his heart's in the right place in all of it.

Whatever the outcome of the US elections, the world will be watching.

My take: big clowny-ass Trump is going to win and America deserves Trump because America's a joke now, and I'll just sit back with a big bucket of popcorn and enjoy the ride as much as possible. At least it will be funny.
But damn do things look dire and it'll probably be the first time I stay home instead of voting.

I always vote because I believe in Colonel Hal Moore's mantra of "there is always one more thing you can do!"
If I can do something to ensure that the less reprehensible candidate wins, I will. Trouble is, if the race turns into Trump v Hilary, for me, it'll be like being asked to vote between Hitler or Stalin.

Der Führer or Comrade Premier? CHOOSE WISELY!

Trouble is I'm a little tired of voting the lesser of two evils. Suppose I could always do a write-in.
