Streep is a great actress don't get me wrong, but I feel she garners nominations now for her name value alone. I would have chosen Amy Adams, although I haven't seen FFJ I thought Adams was great in everything this year (well except Batman/Superman).
I have seen the majority of the best picture nominations, and as some stated it's not the best crop of nominees. I still have yet to see La La Land. I want to, it\s just difficult to convince anyone to come see a musical with me. Here is my top ten movies of the year if anyone cares.
1. Nocturnal Animals (ecstatic Shannon was nominated)
2. Green Room
3. The Nice Guys
4. Hacksaw Ridge
5. 10 Cloverfield Lane
6. Deadpool
7. Captain America: A Civil War
8. Star Wars Rogue One
9. Hell or High Water
10. Sing Street
Honorable mentions: The Arrival, Star Trek Beyond, Zootopia, Dr. Strange, Lion (particularly the first half), The Witch, Don't Breathe.
The lesson for 2016 is to try and not get trapped in someone's else's dwelling. Split would also make my top ten if it were a 2016 release.
