Warner Bros. Pictures

The Nominees: Ex Machina, Mad Max: Fury Road, The Martian, The Revenant, Star Wars: The Force Awakens

Who Will Win? Mad Max: Fury Road

Who Should Win? Star Wars: The Force Awakens

A very similar set of movies to the sound awards here, telling us plainly what the best technical movies of 2015 were. I think, with all the hype around its use of practical stuntwork accentuated with CGI, Mad Max will edge out stiff competition (mainly because it's more showy than The Revenant). But, really, if there was going to be an award Star Wars could win this year, it'd be this - Snoke aside, that movie looked perfect.
