Remember the time Disney made a movie out of The Country Bears? I'm pretty sure even they forgot they made that movie.

Still haven't seen Billboards, but I clicked the spoilers anyway and its intriguing. Keep hearing about this racist stuff. Kind of glad I never paid for it when it finally came to town and I can just rent it for a few quarters next month.

 

This has been a weak BP slate for me anyway. Post, Water, Phantom Thread, none of them have really piqued me. I've been interested in I Tonya though, and did see All The Way. I should've saw Lady Bird when it was out though, seems like a more arty Eo17.

I, Tonya is the worst movie you mentioned in your post by a wide margin  (I know you mean All the Money and not the HBO movie lol)

Funny, take out Darkest Hour and I'd say it's one of the better line-ups in years. The 2010 line-up is still my favorite of this decade overall.

I was looking at my profile and forgot I had three warning points.  I had called water a fucking moron.  Good times.  Good times

I'm sorry my spoiler-tag made it sound interesting. It's not so much.  

 

POST, WATER, PT are all very good. I, TONYA... not so much (it's okay).

 

Don't have a clue about LADY BIRD.

It's the best lineup we've had in years WITH Darkest Hour anyways.

Don't care, it looked the most interested, though I'm not all for the Harding glorification either. This season is just overall weak to me, excluding Get Out and Dunkirk, which don't feel that traditional.

 

Looking at 2017, that was definitely a much better and intriguing year for me. Lion, Hidden Figures, Hell or Highwater, Arrival, Fences, even La La Land, as bad as it was, was still a somewhat energetic.

The worst nominee this year (Darkest Hour) is way better than last year's bottom 3 IMO (Hacksaw/Hidden Figures/Lion)

The early 2000s were something of a dark period for Disney. They had to play catch-up with other studios starting to take the spotlight like DWA did with Shrek (man is it easy to forget how daring that movie was back in the day before every family film started copying its subversive tone).

Well I can't necessarily speak on quality, because I haven't seen them yet. I'm speaking on personal interest. Last year I was much more interested and invested in the nominees. This year, not so much. Couldn't build up the energy to go see Billboards when I finally got it. Preferred Paddington instead. 

 

Didn't even realize the oscars is this sunday, thought I had missed it.

Quite like the BP lineup this year, bar Three Billboards and to a lesser extent Darkest Hour.
