Pictures’ and Village Roadshow Pictures’ action adventure film, “Mad Max: Fury Road," directed by George Miller, a Warner Bros. Pictures release. No film was further removed from the Academy Awards than Miller's apocalyptic fireball "Mad Max: Fury Road." But the 10-time nominated "Mad Max" may well come away with more wins at the Academy Awards than any other film. (Jasin Boland/Warner Bros. Pictures via AP) (AP)
