 Oscar Fun Facts
With Star Force: The Force Awakens, John Williams now has 50 Oscar nominations.
Thanks to Bridge of Spies, Spielberg has now directed more films to Oscar nominations (128) than anyone else in history. #2 is William Wyler (127).
Jurassic World and Avengers: Age of Ultron are the highest grossing films ever to not be nominated.
The Hunger Games is the highest grossing franchise to not earn a single nomination.
Mad Max: Fury Road becomes only the 4th film ever to receive noms in all technical categories joining Titanic, Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World and Hugo.

 Re: Oscar Fun Facts
I think Creed is the first 7th film in a franchise to recieve an acting nomination Mad Max- the first 4th film in a franchise nominated for Best Picture

 Re: Oscar Fun Facts
Ex Machina (15m) is the lowest budgeted film adjusted for inflation to receive a Visual Effects nomination.

 Re: Oscar Fun Facts
Also, isn't Star Wars: The Force Awakens the first domestic all-time #1 since the 1930s to not get a BP nom?

So did The Revenant, no? I believe so. They matched every nom except Revenant got acting noms.
