So as if the regular list wasn’t enough, I make a habit of watching all the Best-Picture nominees before the Oscar Ceremony each year. That should be a little easier (or at least cheaper) this year, since almost everything is streaming right now.
And the Best Picture nominees are:
THE FATHER
JUDAS AND THE BLACK MESSIAH
MANK
MINARI
NOMADLAND
PROMISING YOUNG WOMAN
SOUND OF METAL
THE TRIAL OF THE CHICAGO 7
I have five weeks to knock through them. Disappointed that Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom didn’t make it there, but I am pleased to see Chadwick Boseman get a posthumous Best Actor nomination (and if he doesn’t get it I will be very displeased).
