Fit Fix: Sylvester Stallone Gets Oscar Nod for "Creed," But Michael B. Jordan Is Left Out

On the List: Sylvester Stallone was nominated for a Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his big-screen return as Rocky Balboa in Creed, the Academy announced early Thursday morning. More surprising, though, was that Michael B. Jordan didn't make the Best Actor list, despite earning rave reviews as the star of Creed (and our December 2015 cover). The Revenant and Mad Max: Fury Road dominated the list, earning 12 and 10 nominations respectively.

Snubbed: Besides Jordan, a few other stars were left out of the lists. Idris Elba and Will Smith, who earned plaudits for his roles in Netflix's Beasts of No Nation and Concussion, respectively, missed out on the Best Actor list. Star Wars: The Force Awakens was relegated to nominations for less ballyhooed visual effects awards. [Variety]

Chipotle Strikes Back: Executives at Chipotle have vowed to launch a new marketing campaign aiming to lure customers back to the popular Mexican-styled eatery after outbreaks of foodborne disease in Boston, the Pacific northwest, and the Midwest left some customers ill. “I’m confident we’ll recover from this and win back our customers,” said Steve Ells, the founder and co-Chief Executive of the (still popular) fast-casual chain. Investors responded in kind, as Chipotle's shares jumped 5.9% on Wednesday. [The Wall Street Journal]
