The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences unveiled their latest batch of Oscar nominees, and the big story had to be Sinners. Ryan Coogler’s horror film snagged a record 16 nominations, including one for Best Picture.
A lot of folks (including me) were surprised to see F1® The Movie land a Best Picture nom as well. I wasn’t surprised, however, to see so many R-rated films on the docket—and very hard R-rated movies at that. Only three PG-13 films can be counted among the 10 Best Picture nominees. Again, not surprising, but a little disappointing.
I sit down and talk about most of those Best Picture nominees here: What are they? I’ll tell you. Are they good? I’ll tell you. What problems do they have? I’ll tell you that, too. And the whole thing is filled with my straight-from-the-hip, one-take thoughts, so forgive me if I stumble at times.
Obviously, I don’t detail everything here, and there’s no substitute for our full reviews (please, oh please, read our full reviews). But hopefully, it’ll give you a little information to put in your back pocket.
