The Revenant – 2016 Golden Globe winner for Best Picture, Drama. Check back this Thursday to see if The Revenant, Leonardo DiCaprio, and director Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu are listed among the names of this years Oscar nominees.
In 2012 Chris Pine and Tom Hardy spent an hour and a half fighting for Reese Witherspoon’s affection in the romantic spy comedy This Means War. In the film Pine and Hardy play best friends who fall for the same woman (Witherspoon), the catch? They both happen to be spy’s. While the film wasn’t a critical success, it did end up grossing $156,491,279 worldwide.
