Am I a bad person for only caring about the cinematography and production design noms?

Who the fuck is interested in watching another war movie. UGH. ( i discovered the existence of 1917 during the GG).

they just need to give a participation award to a war film and biopic every year.

Phoenix was hammy but I'm hard pressed to think of many other standout performances by male actors in anything else this year; I'm sure De Niro will get nominated but he was frankly better in Joker too than he was in Irishman (I like Irishman but it's by-the-books Scorcese); Taron Egerton was extremely good though.

Nathaniel Rogers is predicting it for original screenplay, though he seems to be in the minority.

Saw 1917 this afternoon. It's more entertaining and engrossing than Dunkirk or other recent war pics, but it didn't leave a strong impression either. Found myself suspending lots of disbelief as the poor lead gets pummeled in various ways. Was hoping to hear Daniel Powter's "Bad Day" during the ending credits.

No reason to watch this year. I'll be silently rooting for Parasite while I do something more enjoyable. Maybe I'll give the bathroom a scrub.

Funny, only a couple months ago I was thinking that they might not be total shit this year thanks to the above-average number of good-to-great movies of relative prominence kicking around. They actually managed to fuck it up way worse than I imagined possible.

Substitute Actor for Actress (x2) and this also describes Green Book.

gerwig deserved a nomination, and LW deserved a nom for editing
Obv. I was wrong about Awkwafina but IMO she deserved not only a nomination but to win. And that film should have gotten a best picture nod.
Disappointed but not surprised to see Last Black Man in San Francisco completely overlooked.
