On 28 February, the Academy Awards will be presented for the 88th time. The nominees were announced on 14 January: "The Revenant" is the most successful film with 12 nominations, followed by "Mad Max: Fury Road" with ten and "The Martian - Rescue Mark Watney" with seven. The question remains: will Leo finally get his Oscar?

If you're trying to follow the Oscars live like me, I've put together a list of the films that have received nominations in one of the 24 categories. My aim is to have seen every nominated film before the award ceremony so that I can really cheer on the awarding of the coveted trophy. Fingers crossed for Leo, of course.
