BEST PICTURE WHAT THE FUCK
like did the academy decide to fuck over anyone who was watching the race even a tiny bit closely, who thought it was mathematically impossible for 9 nominees, let alone THOSE 9 nominees?!

At least Gary Oldman got a nod. That's all I care about.

This year seriously sucked for movies though. Most of the movies that came out this year were completely mediocre. I am seriously questioning what has happened to QUALITY film making.

Megaupload and pirates's fault. As usual.

when was the writer's strike, that was like 3-4 years ago, right?

It usually takes 3-4 years to make a movie, and there was a two-month stretch of time when this year's movies were just being born where no one was writing ANYTHING.

idk, I remember reading an article about this eventual phenomenon when the writer's strike happened, that "around now" movies were going to suck, and I really feel like that's kind of what happened. Even just looking at the "little movies that could" that broke through this year...in a stronger year, do you think a silent pastiche rewrite of Singing in the Rain would be the frontrunner?

IDK, I'm not calling the endtimes yet. I feel like there's more at play this year than just general shittiness and decline.
