To make history on Oscar night?

I mean if these predictions are accurate...The Revenant is going to make history.
Reasons?

1.Emmanuel Lubezki will become the only cinematographer in the history of film to win the Academy Awards, three years in a row!

2. Leonardo Dicaprio will finally win an Oscar for Best Actor after four misses.

3. Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu will become only the fourth director in film history to win Best Director two years in a row. The other three were John Ford, Lewis Milestone and Joseph L. Mankiewicz.

...now the potential fourth...

4. The Revenant becomes first time any director has won back-to-back director and picture wins.

If all these come true, along with a $400 Million plus box office gross for The Revenant, I can imagine Alejandro being offered pretty much....everything in Hollywood and TV.

I doubt Tom Hardy will win the Oscar, even though he deserves it. The academy will probably give it to Stallone, simply because he's overdue (like Alan Arkin winning for Little Miss Sunshine).

Also Ennio Morricone will win his first Oscar (he got an honorary one) for the Hateful Eight score.

And it'll be more deserved than Iñárritu/DiCaprio/Lubezki combined.

Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu will become only the fourth director in film history to win Best Director two years in a row. The other three were John Ford, Lewis Milestone and Joseph L. Mankiewicz.Was gonna ask JUST this question, if any director has ever won the Oscar 2 years in a ROW...glad you answered it before I started my own thread and got beaten up! (LOL).

In this day and age with the amount of films coming out, technical aspects, shooting schedules, etc, Alejandro has accomplished QUITE the feat.

Everyone will be watching his NEXT project VERY VERY closely! He may want to consider a tiny "break" unless he can go for a trifecta!

Using an Oscar win and box office potential once again to determine a film's quality. And people like you are why I have such a finely tuned condescending opinion of people on this website, given how pathetically predictable you are. I don't need someone winning an Academy Award to validate whether they are or aren't deserving, unlike some skanks I mean people I'm replying to.

But to play that game because I've got time and it thrills me talking down to you because of how easy it is to call you out on your biased crap, he still has more Screenwriting wins than Iñárritu does and a majority of people agree that his "Birdman" win for Screenwriting was less that he actually deserved it and more that it was part of the last minute sweep the film had. AND he still got more writing nominations for "The Hateful Eight" than Iñárritu did for "The Revenant".

"The Hateful Eight" - 18 (with a win from the National Board of Review)

"The Revenant" - 1 (that it lost to "Steve Jobs")
