Our predictions are below with the DLA tag. Three-way race for picture, with "The Revenant" the odds favorite. We predict "The Big Short" for best picture, primarily because it won the Producer's Guild Award. The PGA winner has matched the Oscar winner every year since 2006. We saw a lot of movies this year and, as always, there are outstanding pictures, actors and directors that don't get enough votes. In addition to the nominees, don't miss Idris Elba in "Beasts of No Nation", Paul Dano in "Love and Mercy", "Straight Outa Compton" and "Ex Machina".
