Carol, Room, and Star Wars: The Force Awakens missed. Sicario is showing some strength with the guilds, SAG aside. Ex Machina is the big surprise of this lineup. I went 7/10 (+alt) with my predictions. 

There's some controversy growing about the lack of female-centered nominees in such a good year for women. I'll wait and see what the Oscars actually do nominate, but it's very telling Carol is underperforming so far even with Harvey behind it.
