Does it matter? The Oscars are getting less and less relevant every year. 95% of the people don't even know what won best picture last year mrbeankc Jan 28, 01:29

And so many of the ones that do win aren't shown in but a few hundred theaters. {nm} Dorfman Jan 28, 07:13

No being a top 10 movie shouldbn't be a reason for a nom but right now it's become a reason to be excluded which isn't right either. leo21 Jan 28, 13:54

yeah, it's crazy how nobody nominated "The Martian" or "Mad Max: Fury Road" this year {nm} CG63 Jan 28, 16:52
