The Big Short

  • What it's about: Three financiers (Steve Carell, Ryan Gosling, and Christian Bale) predict the collapse of the housing market in the mid-2000s.
  • Nominations: Five total, including best picture, best director for Adam McKay, and best supporting actor for Bale.
  • Why people are talking about it: The cast is jam-packed with talent (many were surprised that Carell didn't score a nom for his role as Mark Baum), and the film spins a serious, complicated subject matter into entertainment gold.
  • What you should say to make people think you watched it: "That Selena Gomez cameo is so bizarre."
