Saw Leo/TheRevenant and Matt/TheMartian both spectacular & deserve noms, but you can’t ignore Will/Concussion and Idris/BONN. #OscarWorthy

And we can’t forget about Michael B Jordan & Ryan Coogler w/ Creed, Sam Jackson in The Hateful 8, all deserved to be nominated. #OscarWorthy

Cookie & I appreciate great acting/directing. Exceptional talent deserves recognition. Haven’t seen Redmayne/TheDanishGirl can’t wait to.
