Summary
We react to the 2016 Oscar nominations with surprise, resignation, and in the case of Mad Max: Fury Road, awe that it happened at all. From there we share our interview with Domhnall Gleeson, who stars in two best picture nominees (The Revenant and Brooklyn) as well as two more films that received multiple Oscar nominations (Ex Machina and Star Wars: The Force Awakens). Even he agrees he probably deserves a break at this point.
