By the end of the weekend at this year’s Oscars, one of eight nominated films will be added to an eternal list of Academy Award-winning Best Pictures. This year’s nominees run the gamut of genres. There are two films detailing modern scandals (Spotlight, The Big Short), two “based on true story” historical set pieces (Bridge of Spies, The Revenant), one little international indie film (Brooklyn), a deep emotionally wrenching drama (Room), a film about someone lost in space”¦ again (The Martian), and a kick ass action thrill ride (Mad Max: Fury Road). Are these the actual best films of 2015? Well, that depends on personal preference and opinion. Based on box office, this year’s nominees weren’t close to being the most popular films. Only one — The Martian — finished in the top 10 grossing films of the year, and only three total were in the top 21.
So if the eight nominees aren’t your cup of tea, here are the Top 10 films of 2015 NOT nominated for Best Picture…

Honest Trailer: Kingsman: The Secret Service
This is NOT the Honest Trailer for James Bond. It’s not. Seriously, I’m not joking. That is the basic gist of this today’s Honest Trailer from Screen Junkies. Now, in full disclosure, I have yet to see the film despite great reviews from friends and critics alike, so all of this was new to me, and YES I want to see the movie even more after watching this… but yeah, it looks a lot like a hipper, younger James Bond. The film stars of all people, Oscar Winner Colin Firth training a young British bad boy (Taron Egerton), and helping him become a part of an underground spy organization, bent on taking down supervillains with the help of awesome gadgets and cool guns… just like a bloody, cursing James Bo… oh forget it.
Watch the Honest Trailer below.

But in a new interview with Vaughn, the director says that he is currently at work writing a script for the sequel. Find out what he had to say about the upcoming film in the video below.

‘Kingsman’ Sequel Reportedly In The Works
Matthew Vaughn‘s Kingsman: The Secret Service is one of the sleeper hits of 2015. Because the film was scheduled for release in February, it could have been a box office bomb. Instead it has gone on to gross $401 million worldwide. So obviously, a sequel was in order.
According to a report from The Wrap, there are unconfirmed rumors that Fox is working on making that happen.
The studio has yet to make an official announcement, but the Hollywood Trade says there will be a Kingsman sequel. There is no word yet on what the film could be about. Vaughn has expressed an interest in revealing the American Branch of the Kingsman, but that also has yet to be confirmed.
