It’s November, the light of day has been over come by the darkness of night. I love it. It’s also the time of year when the big awards contenders take their swings at the box office.
My hopes this year for the Oscars is diversity in the kinds of films nominated for awards. Yes I want diverse nominees in color and gender. But what I want also is to see all kinds of movies nominated for awards.
I expect films like Blackkklansman, First Reformed, and First Man to be nominated in multiple categories. All worthy films as well.
I’d love to see a comedy score multiple nominations including best picture. Sorry to Bother You, a strange and unique comedy, would be a fantastic choice to be nominated for awards including best picture.
Speaking of best picture why aren’t more animated flicks nominated. In the 90 year history only three have competed for the best picture. This years Isle of Dogs would be a great fourth. Also no documentaries have ever been nominated for the coveted best picture award. Three Identical Strangers and Won’t You Be My Neighbor? are both fantastic films. Both movies will surely compete for best documentary and I’d love to see them compete for best picture as well.
Why don’t genre films, such as westerns or horror, get nominated as well? This year Toni Collette gave an incredible performance in Hereditary. She’d give any actress nominated a run for her money for the award. A Quiet Place would also be a great best picture nominee. It’s a well crafted film that creates great suspense.
As always I look forward to seeing what gets nominated for the Oscars!
