Alternate Oscars: 2016

And now for something completely different. From here on out, I'll round up twice the usual number of suspects, you vote for as many Oscar-worthy contenders as you like, and when I eventually circle back to 2016, I'll take the top vote-getters and turn them into my official nominees. And if you don't like my choices, add one of your own.

How do you like them apples, dude?
