I loved Creed but I can't say that Jordan deserved to be on the list over the other people nominated. Stallone was the standout in that movie and he deserved to be recognized.

As for Elba, I thought he was in the running for best supporting actor. Either way, I think he should have made the list as his performance in Beasts of No Nation was excellent. I'd have put him there over Matt Damon or Mark Ruffalo.

I haven't seen Straight Outta Compton so I can't comment on it being snubbed for best picture. Just looking at the nominees I can't say that I'd have put The Martian on there over Sicario or Beasts of No Nation.
