Worst best picture pick since "The Artist." Every character is a cartoon. Every situation is nonsense. I get they wanted to honor the director but this was not good. This was a forgettable year for films but.....

A lot of Oscar bait swings and misses. Jay Kelly was pretentious muck, as is everything by Noah Bombach. There are not words for how terrible he is and how unwatchable his movies are, and I don't get why everyone else does not see it. Nuremberg should have been a great film, but it was also undone by a bad director and bad casting with Rami Malek. On the other end of the directing spectrum, Jon Chu could direct 10 Boneyarders arguing about whether Jayden Ross deserves more playing time into an interesting film, but even he couldn't turn Wicked: For Good into an Oscar nominated movie.

The Amanda Seyfried film looks interesting, but I have not seen it yet. F1 was fun, but not a Best Picture caliber movie.

Song Sung Blue picking up an Oscar nomination for Kate Hudson was an indication of how weak this year's field was. Hudson did a solid job in a cute little film, but Best Actress nomination for that role? Really?

That industry is dead.
