Answer:

Simple subject - Movie, he

Complete subject - The new movie, a box office hit; the famous basketball player

Compound subject - The new movie and its sequel, My brother and sister

Complete predicate - were nominated for Academy awards, fought over the remote control

Simple predicate - were, fought

Compound predicate - were nominated for awards and lost to other films, is not a run-on and is correctly punctuated

Step-by-step explanation:

The subject is what the sentence is about. It tells us who or what performs an action expressed by the verb or is being described. A simple subject is the main word of the complete subject. The complete subject consists of the simple subject and all of the words that modify it. A compound subject consists of multiple simple subjects that share a verb or verb phrase.

The predicate tells us what the subject is doing or describes it. A simple predicate is just a verb or verb phrase. The complete predicate consists of the simple predicate and all words that modify it and complete its meaning. A compound predicate consists of multiple simple verbs that share a subject.
