Just a year after Guardians of the Galaxy and Captain America: The Winter Soldier were both nominated for technical Oscars but failed to close the deal, two more Marvel films -- Avengers: Age of Ultron and Ant-Man -- and Star Wars: The Force Awakens are all on the shortlist.

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part Two and Mad Max: Fury Road are also on the list, along with a number of films including critical flops like Terminator: Genisys and Chappie.
