Best Picture Nominee #6

Nebraska

Alexander Payne is no stranger to the Academy (Sideways, The Descendants, etc.) so a nomination for the heartwarming Nebraska was not a leftfield appearance – but is an outside bet. Not to take anything away from the film, Nebraska is shot in black and white, and stars Best Actor nominee Bruce Dern as Woody Grant, a stubborn, senility-stricken pensioner who is convinced he has landed a windfall of cash when a leaflet telling him so falls through his front door.

Film: 4/5
Chances of winning: 2/5

What will it win? Nebraska will walk away empty handed.
