This movie could be a steaming pile of crap but it'll still get an oscar nom.

My god has there ever been a year with more these types of movies? I'm not saying its good or bad but damn the film industry is laying it on pretty thick.

I really don't mind. Im just tired of VFX heavy movies. This is refreshing.

I agree. It is very underwhelming but it will still get a Best Picture nom.

Name one Oscar nominated movie over the past 2 decades that wasn't "obvious Oscar bait".

After the lack of blacks actors in Oscar Nominated films, the committee will be obligated to nominate this movie.

Yes, they will. No way they won't nominate it for acting awards, and maybe others. I hope not for best director.

I didn't especially like Moonlight, but if the Academy is going to give acting awards to Black actors, that movie deserves it much more. I didn't know Moneypenny had it in her, but she did.
