I enjoyed Sinners but it's a reflection of how shit movies are these days that it got so many nominations.

Surprised DiCaprio got nominated too. Just a standard performance from him. I haven't saw any of the films up for Best Actress so can't comment on that.

Sinners was ok, but 16 nominations not sure i nominate it for much, maybe a couple.

Have to agree. Good show but no more than that imo. Wouldn't be one I'd return to Watch again or anything. 16 nominations seems excessive for what it was.

I was actually surprised that One Battle after another got Best Picture, but then maybe I shouldnt have been?  I just didnt think the film was spectacular.  Sean Penn rightly deserved best supporting actor as he was the best thing about the film IMO.

When I look at the nominees for best picture though, I of course cant really complain too much as some I havent yet seen.

Jessie Buckley gave the best performance I have seen this year and thankfully swept the awards everywhere. Mescal shouldnt have missed out in a nomination but he wouldnt have been better than Penn.

Good to see some awards for Frankenstein as it was visually stunning.

I have no idea what people saw in that film, not even sure I watched it to the end.

I'm very poor at articulating art, but for what it's worth, I thought Sinners was excellent and a lot of fun. Good story, fast paced, well acted and a nice post-credits twist.

Thought it was a superior film to OBAA also.

If you listed which film from March last year to now, what would they be in top 5 format?

Be hard to pick decent ones from last year tbf
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought.

Definitely not as many good films coming out consistently, but those two would be nowhere near a top 5.

Sinners was a good show, nothing extraordinary and is along the same lines as From Dusk till Dawn.

I was excited for OBAA as most DiCaprio films are good, but that was pretty crazy to be honest. Shocked it was nominated and more shocked that it won.
