Hey, it’s not like we are talking about a garbage movie like, say, Call Me By Your Name. -- nm - David Aug 1, 08:32
It should have been purely on the acting showcase. - Will Hunting, King of Blood Feud Aug 1, 07:10 4
- I disagree with this too. You nominate actors for acting. Add a best casting award if you want. But don't nominate Best Pic solely based on acting. -- nm - ty97 Aug 1, 07:14 3

    - oh yes, obviously lots of people did like the script - ty97 Aug 1, 07:18 1
      - Most people don't discern - Will Hunting, King of Blood Feud Aug 1, 07:42
Because it indeed was one of the best films of 2017, perhaps? (NM) - Marlowe Aug 1, 07:08 6
- Yup. -- nm - Krusty Aug 1, 07:12
- Not only do I disagree, I disagree more and more strongly the more I reflect on the film. - ty97 Aug 1, 07:09 4
  - I really liked it a lot but I have a feeling it will age poorly. -- nm - Tim Aug 1, 07:16 2
    - It should be happy it didn't win Best Pic honestly for that reason -- nm* - ty97 Aug 1, 07:23 1
      - Like it'd be the first or most glaring aged-poorly movie to win Best Pic; even from this decade. - Will Hunting, King of Blood Feud Aug 1, 07:43
  - I won't get in a fistfight over it, but I disagree. (NM) - Marlowe Aug 1, 07:11
