3) Carol, Brooklyn, The Martian And The Force Awakens All Win Nothing

As sure as there are winners, there also always have to be losers at the Academy Awards. This year, a few big-name movies went home completely empty-handed: Carol, nominated for six awards; Brooklyn, nominated for three; and Star Wars: The Force Awakens, nominated for five. They all got bupkis.

Perhaps most surprising is that The Martian didn’t even make a dent, so soon after winning Best Picture and Best Actor at the Golden Globes and despite being up for seven Oscars at this year’s ceremony.
