I love how Mad Max is doing in the awards circles but the comedies and musicals category is just ridiculous now and I remember it being pretty stupid last year.

  I don't see why they need to break up the film category into two such arbitrary labels. Why not just do what the Academy does and expand a single movie category with more possible slots for nominations.
  
  Grrrr don't get me started….

OK, so here's how it goes:

DiCaprio – best actor
Mad Max – best film
George Miller – best director

Anything else, and we riot.

Also, how is "The Martian" a comedy?

  Exactly: The Martian is not a comedy. I agree with your choices.
