Kansas City has added nominations to this year’s proceedings, with Sicario topping the nomination count, a first for the drug war drama. Ex Machina pulls into a tie with other awards seasons favorites Mad Max: Fury Road and The Revenant. Steve Jobs has its best performance so far with three nominations, just not one for Best Picture (Ex Machina‘s also in the same boat).
