Hollywood pundits are chattering about which nominee will win the Academy Award for best picture, but we have other movie issues on our minds:

Like what was the best performance by a Kansas Citian? Paul Rudd became a superhero in “Ant-Man,” but Jason Sudeikis got charming in “Sleeping With Other People.” And did you notice how many movies featured bears? Ted got a sequel, Paddington got a starring role, and a CGI grizzly nearly stole the show in “The Revenant.”

Tell us your favorites in our alternative Oscar poll, where we ask you about 10 unusual categories, plus the big races in the real competition. Click here to vote. You have until the end of the day Feb. 22. We’ll publish the results that week, leading up to Oscar night Feb. 28.

Frontiersman Hugh Glass (played by Leonard DiCaprio) is on a quest for survival after being brutally mauled by a bear. The film won three Golden Globes awards including Best Motion Picture - Drama.
