When it comes to celebrations of the year it’s been in movies, there is nothing bigger than the Oscars.
All the glitz and glamour of the night when Hollywood’s finest gather is now set for its 2016 incarnation. But don’t let the big smiles and encouraging hugs fool you, it’s a battlefield, as proven by the list of this year’s nominations.
