This is the award that Whiplash did win last year, so if a film's going to be rewarded for its musical capabilities outside of Best Original Song and Best Original Score, this'll be the category where it happens. That said, I'm not sure Love & Mercy or Straight Outta Compton are strong enough to stop The Revenant. Predicted Nominees: Love & Mercy Mad Max: Fury Road Straight Outta Compton Star Wars: The Force Awakens The Revenant (Predicted Winner)Other Possibilities: Avengers: Age Of Ultron The Hateful Eight Inside Out
